The future of local welfare inquiry | The Children's Society
The Children's Society has launched an inquiry to gather input from local authorities, the voluntary and community sector, and individuals on the current local welfare and crisis support landscape. With the deadline for responses extended until March, this initiative aims to develop a sustainable vision for future support, focusing on long-term funding to aid individuals and families in financial hardship. Since 2021, the Household Support Fund (HSF) has played a critical role in providing swift interventions, but inconsistent funding has led to regional disparities. This survey seeks to advocate for permanent, ring-fenced funding and a consistent national approach with local flexibility. Your input is vital!

Trans inclusivity in the workplace (all staff) - With an estimated 1% of the population identifying on the trans spectrum, public-facing organisations are increasingly likely to interact with diverse trans individuals, making it essential for employers to support trans and non-binary staff. NHS GM's Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) plan emphasises creating a culture of belonging, especially for LGBTQ+ employees, as shown by the NHS Staff Survey, where one in five LGBTQ+ staff reported violence from patients or relatives. To address these challenges, Gendered Intelligence offers "Trans Awareness: The Basics," a one-hour session that introduces trans-related concepts, legislation, and practices for fostering trans inclusion, followed by a 30-minute interactive Q&A.
Time: 14:00–15:45
