Many vulnerable and innocent people become victims of this system. For example the Windrush Case, Alan Bates versus the Post Office, Migrants and Refugees, people living in poverty and squalid conditions.

The 'Homes for Ukraine' scheme was considered a 'significant success' and helped over 100,000 Ukrainians, therefore I am confident a similar scheme would also prove to be as helpful in this case. The scheme would also once again highlight the kindness, compassion and generosity of the British public in welcoming refugees into their lives and homes once again. Something needs to be done urgently before the UK faces an even bigger crisis. This issue is of huge concern, and not just to those facing homelessness. Some of these individuals have been given just 7 days to leave asylum accommodation, prior to this many of them had no legal right to work here. With no work, they have no money, with no money how are they supposed to access food? Sadly, many are forced to turn to crime just to access basic needs. Refugees are advised to open bank accounts and claim Universal Credit upon receipt of their 'right to remain' papers. A bank account is not easy to open without a permanent address, especially now as a growing number of banks and building societies will not acknowledge asylum hotels as a 'permanent address'. Applying for Universal Credit is also not easy to do without including bank details in the initial application. These individuals are also at real risk of being exploited by criminal gangs, due to their vulnerable state - they are more at risk of being groomed by sex and/or drug traffickers. Many are then forced into addiction and prostitution to make money and pay off debts. These are just a few of the barriers refugees in the UK face after being told they have their 'right to remain'. Therefore, in helping these people into safe environments where they get a decent chance to rebuild their lives, we would also be helping to prevent criminal activity and ease the burden on our already overstretched GP practices and hospitals. I would please urge you to consider the above, sooner rather than later.

Our most vulnerable, loved ones need to be cared for and so do the people that give that care and support. Modern Slavery has no part in our care system! Migrant staff coming to the UK to take up jobs in adult social care are being forced to pay back thousands of pounds in fees, housed in sub-standard accommodation and even forced to share beds with colleagues, said UNISON on Monday 10th July 2023.

Migration is the future. With climate change and increasing border conflicts more and more people will be displaced and need safe haven. The UK together with Europe need to work together on a strategy to make asylum seekers safe and welcome.

The more football fans, people from the LGBTQ+ community and LGBTQ+ allies who ask Harry Kane to wear the OneLove armband anyway, the more likely he is to listen. We need to act now. Kane didn't wear the arm band for the first game and we need to send a strong message so he'll listen in time for future games. Support this petition and show the FA, FIFA and Qatar that they cannot brush LGBTQ+ rights and other human rights abuses under the carpet.

Dear Mr Jenrick There are currently between 150 and 200 missing child migrants in this country. These are children directly under the responsibility of the state. They are missing from hotels and accommodation where they've been placed by the Home Office. They either do not have adult family members in this country to look for them or, these adults are detained, without recourse to funds, advocacy, local intelligence or any form of enablement and support to do so. If this number of British children had gone missing from government care in the last year, there would be a national outcry and you would no doubt be thinking carefully about your position. How can we treat children from other nations any differently once they are within the UK? What does this say about us as a nation? Please confirm that you will make finding these children, who are now highly vulnerable to modern slavery and abuse, the number one priority of your time in office. Please confirm that plans to find these children will shortly be debated in parliament and then acted upon. Children often go missing but most are found again with a short time. There are currently between 150 and 200 child migrants missing within the UK without language skills, without local knowledge, often without parents able to look for them. They are highly vulnerable to human trafficking, modern slavery, and other forms of abuse. We wouldn't stand for this if they were British children. How can we stand for any children at risk like this within our shores?

For too long now this Conservative party has been a party of rule-makers who are rule-breakers. This Home Secretary loves quoting the law - changing it to fit the Tory narrative, where required - to justify her proclamations on a range of controversial bills: freedom to protest - she wants to water down significantly our right to freedom to protest, stifling our freedom of speech, Rwanda-madness, et al

No veteran if they died during war or peacetime should be forgotten for there service, they should be rembered for the sacrifice they gave for our lives, there are many cemeteries for the soldiers that died in wartime but as my grandfather came home he is not entitled to be given a headstone there to be remembered by ,even though he suffered ptsd for the rest of his days , I am willing to cover all costs for a headstone at Crawley cemetery , I just want my grandfather a fepow veteran to be given the dignity he deserves

Because alot of people are in my situation fighting to see there children in court and they don't get listened to from anyone

Hoarding Specific Support Teams Needed Across the UK Housing officers need better training or even specialist support teams to deal with hoarders – according to new research from the University of East Anglia. From environmental health and fire risks to dealing with often complex mental health needs, a new study reveals the challenges faced by housing officers supporting people who hoard. At present there is no established national guidance for managing hoarding behaviours. The research team recommend that housing officers are given better training – particularly to deal with hoarders with mental health disorders and underlying trauma – and that specialist teams could help hoarders reduce their clutter. Lead researcher Dr Sarah Hanson, from UEA’s School of Health Sciences, said: “People who have a hoarding disorder have trouble throwing things away, they collect and accumulate belongings, and their living spaces become very unmanageable. It’s hard to know how many of us are hoarders because it’s so stigmatised and people with the disorder are likely to feel embarrassed or ashamed. But it’s thought that about two per cent of the adult population are affected. Hoarding behaviours are associated with a higher rate of healthcare utilization, chronic and severe medical concerns, a higher rate of mental health service use and housing insecurity due to the threat of eviction. As well as affecting the individual’s health and wellbeing, hoarding often affects relationships and family life. It can also cause a significant fire and environmental health risks and a significant economic burden to housing providers and emergency services. Working with hoarders presents many challenges to housing providers, who need to balance the care of their properties with the care of their tenants. Dealing with the results of hoarding can be traumatising for the person who hoards and the hoarding behaviours usually re-occur. We wanted to find out more about the nature and extent of hoarding, about the challenges faced by housing officers, and how they could be better equipped to deal with hoarders.” The research team worked with housing officers from Norwich City Council and developed a database for the officers to log hoarding cases. A total of 38 cases were recorded between May and August 2021 and each was assigned a clutter rating. Other information – such as the vulnerability of the tenant, safeguarding issues, referrals to other agencies, tenancy duration, and environmental health and fire risks – was also logged. The research team found that the majority of hoarders lived alone (87%) and almost half (47%) had a known vulnerability or disability. Around 60% of cases lived in flats and just over a third (34%) posed an environmental health or fire risk. Dr Hanson said: “We interviewed 11 housing officers and they were each working with up to 10 problematic hoarders. The officers felt very conflicted about how to best protect the property, whilst acting in the best interests of the tenant and their mental health issues and vulnerabilities. We found that hoarding often presented alongside other support needs, for example substance misuse, trauma, and depression. But housing officers are not mental-health trained so many of the problems they’re dealing with go beyond the boundaries of their role and expertise. Overall, we found that housing staff are very committed to finding person-centred solutions. But building relationships and finding solutions to manage hoarding to levels that are safe and acceptable to the tenant, the property and neighbours is very time-consuming. Housing officers need long-term, ongoing support and specialist training to manage hoarding cases, but this is often challenged by other demands of the job, which are often emergency situations. It’s really important that housing officers should have stronger links with mental health providers be able to refer hoarders for further support packages. Managing hoarding cases is emotionally demanding for staff, and they may require additional support themselves,” she added. “Our research shows that there needs to be a greater focus on a holistic and community-based approach to hoarding cases. Training up dedicated hoarding teams or ‘hoarding champions’ to manage cases of hoarding could work really well,” she added. Rachel Omori, Independent Living Manager at Norwich City Council, said: “This collaboration with UEA helped us raise the profile of tenants with complex self-neglect and hoarding behaviours and explore more deeply how we might best support tenants and staff. Staff welcomed the opportunity to share their experiences with the researchers who were independent from the council and were comfortable to share how they felt about working alongside people with very entrenched behaviours alongside their other day to day work. The research highlighted a number of issues which we will explore further via an action plan. This includes a more systematic approach to data collection, holding regular workshops to share good practice, implementing a trauma informed approach with a special training programme, reviewing our internal process and guidance, assessing the prevalence of cases across the county, and exploring approaches to case management.” Council tenancies and hoarding behaviours: A study with a large social landlord in England is published in’ the journal Health and Social Care in the Community on March 21, 2022.

General Dynamics is a 'Sponsor' of Hastings Half Marathon. Charity War Child UK has accused General Dynamics of ‘profiteering from the deaths of innocent children’. Arms companies including General Dynamics have made more than £6bn from sales to Saudi Arabia during the ongoing war in Yemen. International humanitarian law prohibits attacks against civilians yet the British armed Saudi-led coalition has bombed schools, markets, hospitals, and health centres. Since the conflict escalated in Yemen nearly seven years ago, the UN verified that more than 10,200 children have been killed or injured, while survivors face malnutrition and disease with the collapse of infrastructure. Unicef warns that, ‘nearly every child in Yemen’ is in need of humanitarian assistance. Hastings Half Marathon claims to offer family-friendly event with a children’s mini marathon. This is totally at odds with its with association with General Dynamics. Ironically, this year’s ‘brass’ commentates the great Alan Turing whose BOMBE device - the name of an electro mechanical machine developed during World War Two, and was famous for breaking the German Enigma Codes, helped shorten the War by two to four years, and saved millions of lives. Again, this is completely at odds with accepting sponsorship from General Dynamics. And in a time when weapons manufacturers (or in fact, their shareholders) benefit so heavily from wars, nuclear weapons proliferation and personal gun-use, no local or business or charity can justify working under the shadow of General Dynamics reputation. http://www.hastingsagainstwar.org/GD.html https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/williamhartung/2019/09/09/should-arms-makers-be-held-responsible-for-how-their-weapons-are-used/amp/ https://inthesetimes.com/features/us-saudi-arabia-yemen-war-arms-sales.html https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/news/politics/think-tank-under-fire-for-accepting-donations-from-arms-maker/article31086389/
