Together with @InspireWBGroup and colleagues across the sector, we are proud to introduce #CostofLiving24, a comprehensive community resource offering valuable advice and practical assistance to those in need. 🔗 communitywellbeing.info/cost-of-living… 📞0808 189 0036

1/ Today's economic inactivity report from @PivotalPPF is worth a read. Almost 12% of the working age population in NI are unable to work due to sickness & disability. The highest in the UK regions. How much of this is related to mental illness?

This is a shocking increase. Although men are the majority of those sleeping rough,women are more likely to be statutorily homeless, particularly lone mothers. As rents continue to rise, so does the risk of women's homelessness-which remains underestimated theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Analysis by @NEF shows that HALF of local authorities are 'childcare deserts' (three or more 0-5yos for every available place) Those local authorities are much more likely to also have high levels of deprivation But this simply reflects the priorities of government policy... 🧵

1/ Today's economic inactivity report from @PivotalPPF is worth a read. Almost 12% of the working age population in NI are unable to work due to sickness & disability. The highest in the UK regions. How much of this is related to mental illness?
Economic inactivity due to sickness or disability in Northern Ireland has risen in last 10 years, and esp since 2020 in both NI & UK. Lots of other detail in today's inactivity report, but chart below is one of most striking parts Read full report here pivotalppf.org/cmsfiles/Publi…

You can read more & check how your local authority is faring in this new blog from me & @TCStephens who has been producing excellent analysis for @NEF on early education & care neweconomics.org/2024/05/childc…
That's why @NEF is calling for an overhaul of how early education & care is funded & delivered, to ensure that all families with young children have access to high quality provision, rather than this being determined by their income or the affluence of the area where they live
Analysis by @NEF last year showed that children from low-income households, their parents & the wider economy all stood to gain significantly on a range of measures from greater access to early education - much more so compared to children from middle & higher income households
Within the government narrative this makes sense - childcare is there to enable parents to work, so areas with fewer people working need less provision But if we're thinking of early education more widely, excluding children from low-income households is a terrible policy
