I realise the importance of concentrating on punctuation.
Academic words are not always complex words.
Context is important. -
Jackie Floyd made a comment
I found some of those 'academic' words quite subjective.

The diagram had a distinct structure.
The text book was a good resource.
The focus of the project was clear.
That element of the study was very useful.
The potential of this study is far reaching. -

same here, I go to type in what I think is a better word, its doesn't let you do that.

Reading and recording is useful.

still getting this bit muddled. I'll persevere.

Jackie Floyd made a comment
Recording myself reading was useful. Its amazing how slowly I have to speak to remain clear.

Jackie Floyd made a comment
I like to think that I know the meaning of words, and the context of different forms without knowing if it is a noun, verb or adjective. I need to work on this, but I'm not going to get hung up on it.

I've learnt that playing word games helps.

I now feel more confident at structuring sentences.
I now realise gain from practicing writing and listening.
I now know to go slower. -
Jackie Floyd made a comment
To go slower.
To read out loud and reconsider what it is I'm trying to say.
It is important too get it right. Words do matter. -
Jackie Floyd made a comment
The importance of typing more slowly, re reading was bought home.

9/10, think I got most correct by hearing those phrases over the years, rather than by understanding which was the correct one.

I misread, I put 5 words all into one sentence.
The formula for calculating council tax was legal, however the source of information from the sector was a factor, where the principles had to be questioned.

You can tell the beginning from the capitol letter and the end by the full stop. then saying the sentence outloud helped get the correct rhythm

still struggling with nouns, verbs and adjectives... need to keep practicing

Yeah it would be a good idea to do more crosswords rather than sudoku

Safeguarding is the framework for ensuring we continually strive fro the best of service to all our uses, the more vulnerable the more rigorous we must be at working together and remain vigilant and develop a strong 'professional curiosity'.
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
This course has reminded me how important supervision is and how I miss it. I'm doing this course as a nurse returner who's applying to help with the covid vaccination programme. This course has made me realise how involved I am in safeguarding cases as an elected member. I've referred more during my time as a Cllr over the past 3 years than I did in the...

This course has reinforced my commitment to building those bridges across all the various services that support out community. To support the co-location and enable them to work together. In my conversations to support them in their individual professional curiosity and to value the part I have to contribute as the local Cllr who understands the context of...

Jackie Floyd made a comment
I don't believe this team have yet learnt the value of sharing across each other. They each talked about going back to their organisation and sharing the learning. There is much to be gained from visiting each others organisations and seeing how they work. Building more bridges. Our local PCN's have worked hard at co -locating teams together in the same...
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
Well they all learnt something as individuals, im not convinced they learnt the value of communication with each other sooner, and the GP hasn't quite got the bit about consent before referring to safeguarding. Its god to get consent but not essential, especially when you believe it's life threatening. I hope that they all have safeguarding as part of their...
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
As co chair of my local PCN I would hope that each of the individuals would see the important of professional networking, of the great need in every day practice to refer to each other more, long before safeguarding is a concern. We want to raise safeguarding cases sooner, and understand how collectively we can prevent many of them occurring. Building...

I'd also complete a spiders web diagram or overlapping circles to show all the different agencies concerned. I use sketch noting, id like more information about the relationship of the location of the many organisations in Sofias case and their connections with each other and Sofia in the context of place.

Jackie Floyd made a comment
The devil is in the detail, home visits, trustworthy translators, seeing the person 'in situ', within their locality even if you can't get into their home. The sterile environment of a hospital, primary care or social service can hide so much. they can't be rushed and although expensive, the sooner they are used at the 'front end' they same time with the...
-
There is acknowledgement by many of their part, I still think they would benefit by putting it all into a time line. it would be easier then to understand the decisions and omissions made at a specific time. That would enable the leaning to be more targeted at individuals and / or organisations.

Jackie Floyd made a comment
Date time sign. Give the details of the facts. Im currently working with the local Adult Education Services to try and create a course that will help the general public make their requests 'stick'. I come across so many situations where communication is full of emotion about, parking, housing applications, complaint about a school etc etc in the first...

I haven't been on the receiving end of documentation that was outstanding. As mentioned at the beginning of the course I like to think that the referral I sent in about the 2 older men and rats had an impact. Not sure it saved their lives, but definitely led to a rapid chain of events that gave them support that had been missing for a long time. I also sent in...
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
Yes. Simple concise, accurate documentation does save lives. With more and more services replying on on-line referral and documentation a good document that is written with thought about the detail and with whom it can be shared, enables electronic sharing to get a speedier response, or a slower response but from the right folk.

Jackie Floyd made a comment
If I came across I think I would firstly try and make sure I had her correct contact details and she mine. I wouldn't want to loose that as there is so much to consider. Id then go and sit, get a note book and make notes on my thoughts, without those notes recording who it was about. Then a phone call to a senior member of the safeguarding team at the LA....

Jackie Floyd made a comment
I find it baffling that Peter had known Sofia for 6/7 years. He would have picked up a lot of information about her case over that time. So yes I think its important he was at the meeting as he had great detail from the easy years of her time here. He should have had a senior colleague with him, who had also helped prepare the information before the meeting,...

Jackie Floyd made a comment
I keep developing connections, where I can go for 'walk n talks' so that I understand the dilemmas and perspective of the different teams. Currently that leads to zoom chats, following folk on Twitter where folk are more candid about what's going on. Following police, social workers, lawyers and charities from a variety of sectors. Theres always more to...
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
I suspect that Peter is not the only one in this group who would be challenged with sharing the information about trafficking and drug use, because of the extreme threat that the traffickers use. I believe outside of this case a training session from the Police/ Home office team for human trafficking would be of benefit to all. To have reassurance on how...
-
The flowchart is a good reference point. Before making any safeguarding referral its good to reflect and take some moments to collect more details, gather your thoughts, check with a colleague before rushing into a referral. The equivalent of a 'stitch in time saves nine'.
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
I see a need to review current cases, to always be vigilant, and not assume. & years ago the trafficking team and the police would have been in a different place. Changes in the law and training around domestic violence now recognise that impact of 'gaslighting' and the impact on an individual who is being abused. Cases prepared for court acknowledge the...

The lack of clarity by the Chair, defensiveness of the GP, lack of preparation by the Drug dependancy service rep. The mental health representative was flippant, the A&E nurse tired, for me the only glimmer of understanding was the Paramedic representative. Some clarity of a structure of who, what where when on a time line, without referring to questioning...
-
Jackie Floyd replied to Alexandra Hay
Yes that was my thoughts it needed a 'lets make a time line from when she first entered the country and our response, can we collectively tell Sofias story as seen by us?'
-
Agree with the others, mostly everyone in the room is defensive. The Paramedic rep had some insight. It's easy to see how the lack of clarity about learning difficulty and / or first language then compounded the assessment of mental capacity. Getting those basics done at the very beginning are vital, muddle compounded muddle

I sit on the local Primary Care Network. (PCN). We've recently got going with social prescribers and community connectors. Main communication challenge is lack of detail. Whats the real concern about why the person needs this extra support, what's the detail of their social circumstances? We've had examples of lots of medical detail, when the prescriber has...
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
Communication is the key, listening and gathering the detail. being willing to share in an appropriate way. During Covid residents generally are sharing more via social media and I have to be very mindful of things I'm tagged in, things I see, and what I'm sent. Sort of my own mini 'fact check'. Folk generally have access to mobile phone and will share photos...
-
Yes, the devil is always in the detail.
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
As a Cllr I'm forever 'digging up' stuff. If my stomach churns, I have a big think, gather the details and share. I'll also support others to share when I'm the 3rd person to be told. Supporting others to think through what they have seen or heard, gather the evidence and share.

Persist, carry on building connections, its complex, we must continue to do better, recognise earlier. Step in and be brave long before a situation deteriorates. Her child, the adverse childhood experience on her, she needs support now!

As a local Councillor I'd be there to represent Sofia and the community. Id be there to build trust across to the many services they did not invite to this meeting. To give a picture of Sofia in a more holistic way. At this first meeting, id hope there would be more, id would suggest invitations were sent to other's in the system to give their part. I'm...

Oh my, no Police or representatives from Adult or Childrens Social care. They're all health folk. I bet theres loads in the records of the above 3.
Loads of missed opportunities to escalate. I bet the dinner lady at the primary school had something to say. -

Oh my so many folk who meet each other in a work, no one who knew Sofia as a 'whole' in the context of where she lived.
-
Jackie Floyd made a comment
Yes I think I might be asked if Sofia had lived in my ward and I had made referrals to any of the Local Authority departments on her behalf. I wouldn't be asked to Chair. I can see that many would be asked to participate. Health staff, GP, Staff from A&E. Police, neighbourhood connectors, possibly staff from Trading standards. There are many who might have...

We have good frameworks and pathways. Mixed communities, high levels of complex areas of deprivation, some of the highest in the land. The 3 miles away millionairs. Being a unitary authority helps, physical boundaries across, CCG, Secondary health Trust and Local Authority helps.

Yes I trust the LA safeguarding team, I no longer hesitate in making a referral and Ive got better at being concise and clear with information. Ive also nudged fellow Cllrs (who are not healthcare professionals) to make referrals to safeguarding when chatting about neighbour disputes. I've developed a radar for signs of intimidation, neglect, but also that...

Make Safeguarding Personal is the start of communities 'owning' safeguarding. So many wish to complain about the bad behaviour of neighbours, particularly about rubbish. This has now become a trigger for me. From knocking on a door and asking "Got a problem with your bins?" has led to umpteen referrals. It fashions my speaking in various forums, "Ask why,...

Having the link to the lengthy list of concerns to be reported its good to have the language to help communicate what usually starts off as a 'gut' feeling that something isn't right. Ploding through, assessing the facts, reflecting on why you have those concerns, all that helps the receiving team with next steps. Each case that I've referred I've learnt...

I am a retired nurse returned the register for Covid. Since retiring I have become a local elected Councillor. I think Ive made more referrals to safeguarding as a Cllr than I did when employed in the NHS. The most memorable was the first day after my election. A resident complained about their neighbours and rats. 2 hours later after a home visit and...

I have an allotment with raised beds. I can tell the beds that need a winter cover crop or more organic material as they become ‘dusty’. The bed at the front is fine, that’s nearest to where the manure is dumped when delivered.

2018 summer and current. Wales Uk . This area relies on sheep farming but the frequency of drought, longest was 2018 means that the natural grassland is not sustainable and will not sustain the level of sheep rearing. Adaptations advised are changes to the grass sown to a more drought resistant variety. But this takes time and the farmers and researchers...

From the comments in this article you realise how global climate change is. What will be the impact of all areas adjusting at the same time.

For me this demonstrates having more folk skilled in efficient sustainable...

The Eat Lancet diet has won me, fits in with my beliefs for a long time. Eat less meat, eat local meat, and in season. As for engaging others. Locally we have set up a food resilience alliance. Our aim / vision is to incorporate this into every aspect of life, local government, education, health and well being. No single approach predominates. And it needs...

Every aspect needs to be explored. For me locally it’s looking at greatly reducing my meat consumption and what I do eat sourcing from local, ethical, sustainable farms. As a child my dad would bring home the occasional wild rabbit. I can accept eating that more than intensive farmed food. The eating of insects made sence to my head, however my stomach...

Balance as always. Assess the type of land, and the ability to produce plant foods. I live not far from The Lake District in the UK. Sheep farming is part of the landscape and culture.... but that too from the outside looking in had a level of production that is surpassing the level of local sustainability. I need to understand this more on the Fod map.

I’ve become far more aware of the labeling of fish, the desire to go to the local fishmonger is there, tinned tuna is our mainstay. And tinned tuna is the main fish donated to the local food bank. All this information is now being added to the advice given on what to donate for all food parcels in the town. The sustainability has to be part of the ‘good...

I looked at apples and compared with China. From a low point in 2012 there has been a big increase in yield in the UK without a vast increase in acreage. Id like to find out more in terms of crop type, have we got the variety we used to have, or is the crop yield due to increased monoculture. 1996 saw the peak of land use for apples, but something change then...
