    Exactly - the family were accommodated by emergency out of hours team in one of the LA's but not until around 8.30 by which time the children were distressed and exhausted. Totally avoidable as LA No1 have acknowledged now they have duty to assess....

    This is what puts homeless families through. Councils have a legal duty to protect children and eventually one of these councils will have to fulfil that duty. In the meantime the harm they are causing to children by this treatment is irreversible and completely negligent.

    We're assisting a homeless family who've had to traipse from one council to another FOUR times as both denying responsibility. Unlawful, and also outrageous that neither LA has the decency to safeguard these children and start an assessment, and sort out their differences later

    An amazing initiative from our friends at p17. We hope the letters and data from this help put pressure on the state to end NRPF and all hostility. This government are retreating from their duties of care and gotta stop leaving it up to P17 to keep vulnerable people safe

    Our Emergency Hotel Fund is now open for referrals! Available to frontline orgs supporting families left street homeless by a local authority refusing support - we can pay for short-term emergency accommodation whilst the decision is challenged:

    policies in the prevent us from putting the care and saftey of our patients first - our primary professional duty. Great that our toolkit is helping navigate harmful regulations, but we must collectively work to end NHS charging

    Feeling very conflicted trying to offer compassionate care in of charging today. Thanks to toolkit for practical help

    Glad that this was debated in Westminster but the short mention of NRPF on page 48 is not enough. Universal would leave no child behind. Families without access to mainstream benefits aren't eligible for FSM in way too many schools across the country.

    This morning we’re at the Westminster Hall Debate on the . starts the debate describing situations of “debilitating hunger” and the five key asks of the charter. Read more here:
