This stood out to the strategy enthusiast in me. Being strategic is as much about saying no as it is saying yes.

My list of things to think about after mat leave is getting longer this week after catching up with colleagues across Nottinghamshire and at HQN:

It calls for female prisoners to be treated differently to men, and we need the same mindset for female rough sleepers.
Solace WA and SHP have been leading the charge on this with their Women's Rough Sleeping Census. Keep an eye out for the 2024 findings and take part in 2025.

"Four out of five female prisoners have a history of significant head injury, with sustained domestic abuse being the most likely cause".
This article caught my eye, and this sentence in particular really stood out.

With 2 months to go until the end of Mat Leave 2.0, now seems a good time to get back in the social media game. I've been lurking and liking but will try do more sharing of things that catch my strategic housing eyes.
