Thank you @insidehousing @Grainne_Cuffe for thoughtful, in-depth reporting of #HallamCourt #Croydon fire. Grateful that residents’ voices about the realities of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis are being heard. – at Croydon, London

For #CPAAwarenessDay, we're sharing early findings from our upcoming report, Nowhere to Turn: Lessons from Families Affected by CAPVA. Even at this stage, the difficulties, stigma & discrimination families face is clear.

Thank you Councillor Islam for speaking for #Selhurst residents. The litter and fly-tipping are ruining our neighbourhood, and the council must take action. #CleanUpSelhurst
Mayor Perry has neglected Selhurst Ward for far too long. Fly-tipping and litter are out of control, while residents' pleas for action go ignored. It's time for real leadership, not empty promises.

New report from @PoliceChiefs estimates there were 2.3m perpetrators of #VAWG in the last year - and that they are becoming younger. The new govt wants to halve this number in 10 years - more robust data and evidence will be key to getting this right. theguardian.com/society/arti…

This 👇 Really important, not often considered, aspect of school. Lack of green space in state schools, especially in urban areas where flat-dwelling families don’t have gardens either. theguardian.com/environment/…

Nearly 5 years on from the Grenfell Phase 1 Report and Government still haven’t implemented Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans. This is why it is so important:

"We will use every government tool available to target perpetrators and address the root causes of abuse and violence"
We're delighted to see a clear commitment to address perpetrators in the #LabourManifesto. This echoes our call for all parties to hold perpetrators to account.
A year ago today our home was on fire. A community traumatised - my family and neighbours still reliving incident and horrible days that followed. For the sake of people’s lives, the #cladding scandal needs urgent action. Residents can’t wait. #buildingsafetycrisis @LondonCAG
Shocking fire safety failures SIX years after Grenfell.
Croydon flats go up in flames with combustible material, a “Stay Put” policy and no fire alarm.
And like in 2017, Hallam Court residents had safety concerns before the fire.

This is your reminder that the legal system was designed by men for men to protect men and not women. Especially if you are a wealthy white man. #MeToo

The most horrific news a family can receive. All our thoughts are with those who knew and loved Sarah Mayhew.
Grateful to the police and all those who have worked so hard to get to the truth.

An important read for those affected by fire safety crisis in UK homes, and by shared ownership schemes. #cladding #buildingsafetycrisis
❗We've been raising concerns about shared owners trapped in the building safety crisis for some time.
The @CommonsLUHC Select Committee has now published a damning report on shared ownership.

We are outraged by the killing of @WCKitchen aid workers in #Gaza.
Attacking humanitarians is a violation of international humanitarian law.
They are #NotATarget and must be protected at all times, #NoMatterWhat.
