I’m really upset by the response from @FlySWISS to a cancelled flight my son was booked on 19th July - flight was cancelled due to a fault - no replacement provided. We had to book another flight - now not offering compensation or a refund! Poor customer service! @Moneybox

Big news! Following a debate at Full Council, we've agreed to award those with care experience in Camden protected characteristic status 👏 Free wifi will also be provided to care leavers up to 25! This means more support for those in care and those who have care experience 🤍

Feeling a bit emotional…my last day in Newham. Thank you to all my wonderful colleagues for all your support and encouragement. It’s been challenging at times but also immensely rewarding…I’ve learnt so much and proud of all our achievements. Best of luck for the future!

Innovation in social work = better outcomes for children and families. That was the key message from our inspiring Innovation in Social Work event last week. That is why @FrontlineSW is committed to backing fresh thinking & new ideas with our philanthropic Innovation Programme.
Last night at BT's offices in London we held an innovation in social work event. Heather and Jorden, Frontline fellows on our Innovation programme, introduced their innovative ideas and explained why they are so important for the children and families they support every day.
