1. No guidance on Streetlink to get a person's consent before reporting them.
2. 9% success rate of helping (eventually) but 90% success of sharing data across authorities.

Freezing nights put people sleeping rough at serious risk.
If you see someone who needs help, a quick report to StreetLink alerts local outreach teams so they can offer support and a safe place to stay. Find out how at thestreetlink.org.uk

Our economic system is broken, the rules of the game were written by rich people for rich people. Inequality is growing and it’s no good to rich and poor alike. We need new rules.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

Senior DWP civil servant blames victims for carer’s allowance scandal
Neil Couling said failings by individual claimants ‘at the heart’ of crisis, despite a report finding DWP shortcomings ‘unacceptable’
One of the most senior civil servants in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has placed the blame for the carer’s allowance benefits crisis on victims, many of who have been left with life-changing debts.
