Britain is becoming sicker, with a sustained increase in levels of ill-health and disability. This creates financial challenges for families, and a fiscal challenge for the Government, with spending on incapacity and disability benefits forecast to rise from £40 billion today to £60 billion by the end of the Parliament. Everyone agrees that the current system is not working. But no-one can agree on how to change it. The Government will need to break that stalemate in its upcoming Green Paper.
Durban will host the eighth National Conversation on Homelessness today. The two-day summit promises insightful discussions on critical topics such as addiction, shelters, urban gardening, and access to government services.

The Clare Leader Forum is calling for an urgent focus on supports to help the disabled community participate in the workplace. It comes as the Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphries announced the Government's Green Paper On Disability Reform would be scrapped following intense backlash from campaigners. The scheme had initially proposed a three-tier system whereby those with disabilities would receive a weekly payment of €220 to €265 depending on their level of needs. Ennistymon based Co-Founder of Equality Not Care, Anne-Marie Flannagan insists new policy must focus on immersing people with disabilities in society rather than consigning them to the sidelines.
Potential Employment Law Proposals from the Labour Party In the third and final part of our look ahead to potential employment law proposals should the Labour Party secure a win at the next General Election, Partner Tim Leaver, together with Consultant Peter Frost and Senior Associate Sian McKinley, continue to explore the key employment-related proposals put forward by the Labour Party in its Green Paper last year and the recent party conference, with a focus on Labour's proposed Fair Pay Agreement revolution and how employers' responsible and sustainable business will attract and retain both investors and the best people in the market.

A large crowd of campaigners have taken to the streets of Ennis this lunchtime calling for a permanent end to the inequality facing the disabled community. Organised by The Clare Leader Forum, the group is urging the government to tear up the Green Paper on Disability Reform.
The Clare Leader Forum claims proposed disability reform legislation will impede on the human rights of people with disabilities. Public consultation remains open until March on the government's Green Paper on Disability Reform which includes proposals to reform various income supports such as disability allowance and the blind pension. Among those in opposition to the proposed legislation are members of the Clare Leader Forum who claim it's in breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Ahead of a rally against the Green Paper on O'Connell Street Ennis this Friday, Clare Leader Forum member and Ennistymon native, Trish McNamara says the legislation will force disabled people to bear an untentable financial cost.
Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory hears from Gillian Kearns, a co-founder of NeuroPride Ireland and secretary of Disabled Women Ireland, and Maryam Madani from Disability Power, who explain what is in the Green Paper on Disability reform, how the proposals have failed to listen and include the voices and perspectives of disabled people, the upset this has caused, how the reforms are neoliberal workfare rather than enabling disabled people. The Scrap the Green Paper Coalition is holding a protest outside the Dail from 12pm-2pm Thursday 7th Dec.

One of them was from Irish citizen, Zak Hania, and it included pictures that clearly showed that Israel had resumed it's bombardment of Gaza. Zak rejoined me a few minutes ago to talk about the cruelty of restarting the "war", the continued lack of food, clean water and electricity and the despair he and his fellow citizens are feeling as another wave of attacks on an already destroyed area begin. He also talks about the kindness shown to his family in Dublin and the lack of contact he has had from our Department of Foreign Affairs. #BringBackZak The Scrap the Green Paper on Disability Reforms podcast is out now here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-exclusive-93824982
The Clare Leader Forum has lambasted the Department of Social Protection for its depiction of disabled people in the Green Paper on Disability Reform. Public consultation is currently open for the Green Paper which is centred on the "the restructuring of long-term disability payments" including disability allowance, invalidity pension, blind pension, incapacity benefit and domiciliary care allowance. To discuss the impact of the changes on people in receipt of said payments, an "urgent meeting" will be held at the Temple Gate Hotel Ennis on Friday at 11am. Trish McNamara of the Clare Leader Forum, which is organising the meeting, says the way disabled people are being discussed in the Green Paper is despicable.
Cabinet has approved the Green Hydrogen Commercialisation Strategy (GHCS) for implementation, with the goal of positioning South Africa as a major producer and exporter of green hydrogen. Government has estimated that the hydrogen economy has the potential to add 3.6% to gross domestic product by 2050 and create 370 000 jobs. Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the draft Green Paper had received extensive feedback from stakeholders and the GHCS would give effect to the Hydrogen South Africa Strategy approved by Cabinet in 2007 to prepare the country for a hydrogen economy. "It is also framed within the Hydrogen Society Roadmap developed by the Department of Science and Innovation and approved by Cabinet in 2021." She also said that government had identified possible funding for green hydrogen projects, without offering any details. However, the approval of the strategy follows on from the the second South Africa Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town, where South Africa concluded Heads of Agreements with the intention of launching an SA-H2 Fund that will facilitate the development of the country's green hydrogen sector. The aim is to attract $1-billion in funding. The development of a green hydrogen economy is also included in the Just Energy Transition Investment Plan (JET IP), which was endorsed last year by the initial members of the International Partnership Group (IPG), which pledged $8.5-billion in concessional funding to support South Africa's phased transition away from coal. The Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Denmark have subsequently become members of the IPG, while JET IP pledges have also been made by Canada, Spain and Switzerland. The Presidency's Rudi Dicks told the Presidential Climate Commission (PCC) recently that that pledges of concessional funding in support of South Africa's JET IP had increased to $11.9-billion. Most of the funding would be in the form of loans rather than grants and Cabinet said it remained concerned about the non-commitment of developed countries to meaningful grant funding. Details of the GHCS were not immediately released, but it is understood that the strategy will seek to lock-in price subsidies arising in various developed countries for green hydrogen derivatives exports, support the decarbonisation of domestic hard-to-abate sectors and develop industrial capacity to manufacture components for wind, solar and electrolyser facilities. Green hydrogen is produced by using renewable electricity in an electrolyser to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The clean energy carrier and the derivative products are seen as becoming increasingly important in assisting those sectors that are unable to decarbonise directly using renewable electricity, such as steel, petrochemicals, fertilisers, cement, as well as long-haul land, sea and air transportation. Ahead of the endorsement of the strategy, the Eastern, Northern and Western Cape provinces signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on the development of South Africa as a global hub to produce green hydrogen and derivative products, as well as to produce the components required in the green hydrogen value chain. The three coastal provinces are all playing host to potential multibillion-rand green-hydrogen projects and have been working separately on strategies and roadmaps to capture the jobs, growth and industrialisation opportunities that could flow should the projects materialise. However, opportunities extend beyond these provinces and also include opportunities in territories such as the Free State and Mpumalanga where Sasol is investigating displacing grey hydrogen produced from coal with green hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuels and other products.
In the first of a new season of Employment Espresso Pods, Partner Tim Leaver, together with Consultant Peter Frost and Senior Associate Sian McKinley, discuss the key employment-related proposals put forward by the Labour Party in its Green Paper last year and the recent party conference. Particularly eye-catching proposals on Labour's agenda discussed in this podcast include: (1) a new single status of "worker", (2) unfair dismissal as a "day one" employment right, (3) a ban on zero hours contracts, and (4) trade union reform.
A high court barrister has called for an inquiry into farm lending in Australia and the failure of Australia's corporate regulator to investigate banking misconduct against farmers, the federal and state government agricultural ministers have agreed to proceed with further research to tackle carp numbers in Australian waterways, and automated drones and electric aircraft are just some of the ideas flagged in the Federal Government's Green Paper, looking at the future of Australia's aviation industry.
The Government has big plans to reform disability payments. Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys has published a Green Paper with draft proposals. Three major proposals are outlined in the paper. The proposals are currently subject to a public consultation that will run until the end of the year. However, some disability advocates have concerns in relation to the green paper. For more on this, Alan was joined by Anne-Marie Flanagan, Clare Leader Forum, Disability Activist.

The federal government has doubled down on its rejection of Qatar Airways' application to add additional flights into Australia. Transport Minister Catherine King says her decision was made in the national interest - but she has suggested Qatar's invasive strip search of women in 2020 is part of the context. The furore continues amid the government's release of a new Aviation Green Paper that is poised to move the industry into the future.

The SEND Review Improvement Plan was published on 2 March, 2023. The Improvement Plan is a follow up on the SEND and AP Green Paper released earlier last year. This podcast is part 3 of our series about SEND and ‘inclusive education', and in it, Margaret Mulholland and Luke Kemper conduct a close examination of the Improvement Plan including both its strengths and weaknesses. How well does the Improvement Plan meet the needs and challenges of the SEND and AP system? As Margaret put it, “The strategies articulated in the Improvement Plan don't appear sufficient to deliver on the theory of change that was articulated in the Green Paper, even though that theory of change was the right one.” Listen to hear Margaret's expert insights on the Improvement Plan in full.

The deep economic divide between Australia's rich and poor is in danger of worsening unless wide-ranging government policy reform is undertaken, a new Green Paper released by the Actuaries Institute warns. In the latest episode of the Actuaries Institute podcast, Vanessa Beender discusses some of the Paper's findings with one of the authors, actuary Dr Hugh Miller, including:the meaning of inequality;the relationship between inequality and health, education, housing and environmental outcomes;policy recommendations to address this issue.
In July, 2022, I spoke to Margaret Mulholland, SEN and Inclusion Policy Specialist for the Association of School and College Leaders, or ASCL, about the SEND and AP Green Paper, which had been released by the DfE in March. We published part one of this interview recently - you can listen here. In part two of the interview, Margaret and I talked more about inclusivity and discussed how we can embed it into mainstream education. The government has just published its response to the SEND Review – The SEND and AP Improvement Plan – and you can expect a HEP summary in our weekly Monday Briefing. We will be speaking to Margaret again in the next few weeks to gain more of her insight into the next phase of the government's plans for SEND and alternative provision.
In March 2022, the Department for Education released the SEND and AP Green Paper, a document which summarised the challenges faced by SEND and AP provision, and set out ambitious reforms to create a single, well-regulated, national SEND and AP system (Read a summary of the paper here). There was a consultation on the paper soon after, which closed in July 2022, and that's when I spoke to Margaret Mulholland, SEN and Inclusion Policy Specialist for the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL). Margaret has a wealth of knowledge and ideas about how the SEND and Alternative Provision system operates and also casts her expert eye over how well the Green Paper addressed its issues. This HEP Talks episode is a must-listen for anyone keen to gain a greater understanding of how this system works.

Wie können Kunststoffe immer wieder genutzt werden und nicht wie meist heute üblich deponiert, verbrannt oder gar in den Weltmeeren landen? Hierzu hat der VDI mit einem aus verschiedenen Expert*innen besetzten „Round Table“ ein erstes Positionspapier verfasst, ein sogenanntes Green Paper. Es zeigt detailliert auf was nötig ist, um eine funktionierende Kreislaufwirtschaft sicherzustellen und wo die Chancen, Herausforderungen und Potenziale der einzelnen Wertschöpfungsteilnehmer liegen, aber auch warum es eine ganzheitliche Perspektive auf die Wertschöpfungskette braucht. Zu Gast haben Sarah Janczura und Marco Dadomo Matthias Lesch, Geschäftsführer des Kunststoffunternehmens „Pöppelmann“ und Helmut Schmitz, Leiter „Public Affairs und Kommunikation“ des Entsorgungsunternehmens „Der Grüne Punkt – Duales System Holding“. Beide waren Teil des Round Tables und befassen sich in ihrem Arbeitsalltag mit dem Thema „Kunststoff“ wenn auch – aus Sicht der Wertschöpfungsperspektive – von unterschiedlichen Positionen aus.
Today the Actuaries Institute releases its latest Green Paper, Cyber Risk and the Role of Insurance.Australians are more dependent than ever on technology and cyber risk cost the Australian economy $33 billion last financial year.The paper, written by actuaries Win-Li Toh and Ross Simmonds, and technology expert Michael Neary, notes while the first line of defence against cyber risk will always be good cyber hygiene and security, cyber insurance is an important second line of defence.There are gaps, however, in achieving the best practice ideal, especially a severe skills shortage, limited understanding among Boards of the role of cyber insurance, limited education among SMEs of cyber risks, and capacity and profitability challenges in the market including for accumulation risks.This Green Paper offers several solutions-focused discussion points, as we examine the complementary roles of government, business and insurers in creating a robust best-practice framework, where cyber insurance can thrive and offer better protection against cyber risk.GREEN PAPER: https://www.actuaries.asn.au/Library/Opinion/2022/CyberRiskGreenPaper.pdfTRANSCRIPT: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud/download-ticket?ticketId=9e9ff004-86b0-44ad-b626-7d661f888319ABOUT THE ACTUARIES INSTITUTE:As the sole professional body for Members in Australia and overseas, the Actuaries Institute represents the interests of the profession to government, business and the community.

The Actuaries Institute recently launched its latest Green Paper, introducing the Australian Actuaries Home Insurance Affordability (AAHIA) Index.Affordable insurance is a key part of ensuring resilient communities.The paper, written by actuaries Sharanjit Paddam, Calise Liu and Saroop Philip, highlights that one million Australian homes (approximately 10%) spend more than four weeks of their gross annual income on home insurance, classified as vulnerable on the AAHIA Index. These vulnerable households are concentrated in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Northern NSW.Affordability pressure is projected to intensify with climate change, and the impact will be greater for these already vulnerable households. The paper presents results under both a low and high emissions scenario.Policy solutions to address home insurance affordability and the socioeconomic inequities of climate change are wide-ranging and include multiple stakeholders.Prior to the paper's launch, Sharanjit Paddam and Calise Liu joined the Actuaries Institute podcast to discuss the key points of the Green Paper.GREEN PAPER: https://actuaries.asn.au/public-policy-and-media/thought-leadership/thought-leadership/home-insurance-affordability-and-socioeconomic-equity-in-a-changing-climateTRANSCRIPT: https://actuaries.logicaldoc.cloud/download-ticket?ticketId=e5faa1a5-ffd7-4fad-82d3-e225cf688052ABOUT THE ACTUARIES INSTITUTE:As the sole professional body for Members in Australia and overseas, the Actuaries Institute represents the interests of the profession to government, business and the community.

Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Ebrahim Patel reports that government is working to find a “pragmatic solution” to the problem where local-content requirements contained in government's electricity procurement programmes are delaying the construction of utility scale renewable-energy projects. “I've asked the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) team to meet with the energy team to see how we can ensure that our localisation goals don't retard the development of green energy, and that we find ways to speed up processes,” Patel said in response to a question posed by Engineering News on the side-lines of the Manufacturing Indaba. The localisation requirement, particularly for solar panels, has been raised as a challenge for both the non-powership projects identified as preferred bids under the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP), as well as for the preferred bidders identified following bid window five (BW5) of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme. Financial close for projects under both programmes has been delayed, with the BW5 projects currently scheduled to close on a staggered basis in July and September and with only three RMIPPPP projects having signed power purchase and implementation agreements with Eskom and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy, following several delays. A recent report by Meridian Economics on how South Africa's load-shedding crisis could be resolved by early 2024 warns that the local-content requirements for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have emerged as a serious impediment to the projects proceeding and it, thus, recommended that the requirement be scrapped. The study argues, too, that delaying the projects will cause “greater economic damage and deindustrialisation downstream than the very modest benefits from PV panel localisation”. “Given that South Africa has absolutely no competitive advantage in manufacturing PV panels, that all the raw materials must be imported and that, to be competitive, the process will have to be highly automated, there appears to be no economic rationale for imposing more load-shedding on South Africans and ‘taxing' them to subsidise the establishment of local panel manufacturers,” the Meridian report asserts. Patel said he continued to believe there to be a “big opportunity” in the manufacture of renewables components locally on the back of the investment government and electricity consumers had made to unlock the renewables industry. He also reported that some industrialists had indicated to him that they could move with speed to establish local production. “[But] in the end, this will require some pragmatic solution,” he added, without offering specifics. “The lesson we learned from the early phase [of the renewables roll-out] is that not enough thought had been given to developing industrial capabilities in the generation of clean energy. “And so, in the next phase, while still wanting to do it as expeditiously as possible, we are working on the localisation elements,” Patel said. Government and stakeholders have, for some time, been developing a South African Renewable Energy Masterplan, but the social compacting process had not yet been concluded. Patel reiterated the importance government was placing on these sector partnerships and on the green economy in pursuit of the DTIC's three priorities of industrialisation, transformation and building a capable State. He also reported that work was progressing on other elements of government's green industrialisation drive, including in the areas of green hydrogen production and the local manufacture of electric vehicles. A draft green hydrogen commercialisation strategy will be presented to Cabinet in August and the electric vehicle (EV) policy is expected by October, with discussions currently under way with the National Treasury and stakeholders following the publication last year of a draft Green Paper on EVs.

Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. In 2021, Wharton professor ERIC ORTS took a leave of absence to run as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He was driven in part by his desire to reform the Senate itself, as he discussed in episode 2.3 of our podcast. The more urgent motivation, however, was his assessment of climate change as a global emergency requiring national mobilization on a massive scale, a view he developed as Director of the Wharton Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership. In his discussion with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Orts outlines not only the technical steps for ramping down carbon emissions, but the policies and political strategies that could help bring about necessary change. While he ended his Senate campaign in early October, after this interview was recorded, his insights into the politics of the climate emergency remain relevant to a problem that we will be grappling with for years to come.

The initial “discovery phase” Challenge question to the FE community was “How can VocTech improve vocational outcomes for people most impacted by the digital divide and at greatest risk from the long-term impact of the pandemic on access to training and jobs? How do we then link those vocational skills to real employment opportunities?” A set of assumptions was published about the wider landscape Ufi had seen through their work during the pandemic and the desk research that they had undertaken. But the most important thing was to talk to people about their own lived experiences. Ufi undertook three months of consultations with learners, employers, and education providers of all kinds, to try to uncover what the big issues were for them. Participants were asked, what, in their direct experience, were the underlying needs of learners and employers? How can VocTech help with these needs? How can VocTech improve vocational outcomes / the working lives of those who need it most? And what could Ufi, either alone or with partners, do to reduce the digital divide? At the end of the process, a Green Paper was published focusing on the key findings: There was a lack of access to both devices and bandwidth and alongside that, learning design was not tailored to the devices that people were able to access content on Learners most at risk of digital exclusion have real issues of confidence and motivation which are real barriers to getting started and sticking with their learning Digital skills barriers remain prevalent, but are more complex than might be expected – not all young people are digital natives and not all older people lack digital experience It is particularly difficult to deliver practical skills remotely, and social aspects of learning need to be built into VocTech solutions The VocTech market is still a difficult one to introduce innovations into, and there is a need for champions in the sector to take a risk and adopt new approaches Ufi's mission is around vocational skills, so they were not in a position to address all of these issues. A subsequent White Paper was published with responses to the consultation, including the VocTech Challenge funding call and activities in partnership with other key organisations in the sector to address some of the wider questions. They are now in full flow delivering on the commitments made in the White Paper, but it's important to Ufi to continue to explore the themes that were uncovered, to see what's changing over time, so they are working on a ‘one year on' analysis of what change they have been able to catalyse or support. The VocTech Challenge funding call applications are currently in the process of being assessed to make sure that Ufi funds those that are addressing the issue of confidence and motivation within their target learner group – finding out what really works for those learners most at risk of remaining disadvantaged by the digital divide. Ufi are looking for projects that really engage with users to find out about their underlying needs and they know that these user groups can have complex needs to help them gain the skills they need for work. But the VocTech Challenge is about more than Ufi's grants and learner needs. As part of the Discovery Phase for their Challenge process, Ufi spoke with teachers and educators across the sector to see what issues they were facing. It was clear that problems of confidence and motivation also applied to those supporting learners as they grappled through 2020 to learn new skills and work remotely. Ufi was well placed during the pandemic to fund a number of projects across the FE sector and private training providers to respond to the immediate needs of learners, and educators to keep delivering vocational skills in very difficult circumstances. As things are progressively returning to ‘normal', Ufi is keen to see the VocTech that was adopted really embedded into daily usage, in a blended model or fully remote, depending on circumstances. And to champion what really good VocTech looks like, as an experience for staff and students. Initiatives like AmplifyFE run by the Association for Learning Technology are helping to share that message of ‘what good looks like' and embedding best practice, and the VocTeach team are gathering and developing resources to help take the strain out of finding good online content. In this episode, Hilary Stringer, who co-ordinated the Challenge Discovery Phase will introduce guests Geoff Elliot, who worked at Pembrokeshire College and has led several Ufi funded projects and Peter Kilkoyne who is working with Pembrokeshire's Audactive project – an innovative solution that enables teachers to create learning activities so learners can have a ‘conversation' with coursework and avoid using a keyboard.
Trade union Solidarity has published a new report suggesting that the burden on South African taxpayers could double if the White Paper on the National Health Insurance (NHI) is accepted and the Green Paper on social security is implemented after being reviewed. According to the report, South Africans pay incredibly high taxes in global terms, while the government generally fails to fulfill its side of the social contract.

According to a new proposal from the Department of Social Development. Last Wednesday, the department gazetted its Green Paper on Comprehensive Social Security and Retirement Reform, which proposes the creation of a new National Social Security Fund (NSSF) - a government-managed fund which will provide retirement, disability benefits and unemployment benefits. All employers and employees will initially be obliged to contribute up to 12% of their earnings - up to a certain ceiling, which is currently proposed as earnings of R276 000 per year. This means that if you earn more than R276 000 a year, you will pay a maximum of 12% of R276 000 a year - around R33 100, or R2 760 a month - to the fund.

he deputy editor of Business Day says the Green Paper has huge implications because it demands money from the country's fiscus to subsidise certain sections of the poor. Carol Paton was speaking to Radio Islam about the government's new plan to implement a mandatory pension and insurance system that will see employers and employees paying up to 12% of their earnings into a state-run national social security fund.

It involves many funders and healthcare providers with competing interests, both from the public and private sectors. However, despite its complexity, the healthcare system in Australia is one of the best in the world and, for a long time, private health insurance has been a part of that system. So, without reducing or expanding the role of PHI in the healthcare system more broadly, how can the community get more from private health insurance?Discussion topics include:•The complexities surrounding the current structure of Private Health Insurance and the Public healthcare system including regulations, community rated products, Medicare rebates and risk equalization.•Different philosophical viewpoints on how to make private health insurance work better including the Medicare levy surcharge, priority in the current system for claiming and treatments and appropriate care in the public healthcare system.•Key issues in the current system that Bevan and Matt have addressed in their key paper including; •Limitations and lack of ability for a patient to choose the correct treatment and how to receive said treatment. •Confusion surrounding the policyholders benefits and claim entitlements. •The affordability of private health insurance as wage growth slows while the average premium continues to rise, year on year. • Convincing ‘healthier’ people to buy private health insurance products to further reduce premium costs. •The changing pathways of treatments that enable better access for less complex surgeries and treatments that the private health insurance sector hasn’t adjusted their coverage for.•Potential solutions for fixing private health insurance including; •Creating a new tool for GP’s and care coordinators to guide the patient though their choices including greater transparency, clear, easy-to-understand information on fee’s, waiting times, claims. •Incentivising insurers to reduce unnecessary claims costs. •Targeting inefficiencies in the supply side of private healthcare services e.g. tackling the cost of a specific service such as prosthetics, administration fees, add-on fees, hidden fees that may occur form specialists etc. •Focusing on increasing the health of policyholders with private health insurance to reduce the average costs of premiums and incentivising younger and healthier people to buy private health insurance cover. •Improving the perception of private health insurance via the whole private sector working together to reflect on how to create value as opposed to shifting the blame. The government should also do more to promote the value of having private health insuranceBevan and Matt will be discussing their research and key findings on Day 1 of the Actuaries Summit, held on June 3, 2019 at the ICC Sydney.ABOUT THE SPEAKERSBevan Damm is a Partner at EY and has fifteen years’ experience in the insurance industry, specialising in health insurance, general insurance and personal injury insurance, following sixteen years’ of service with the Australian Navy.

In the latest Care Home Management magazine podcast sponsored by myAko.com Professor Martin Green, chief executive at Care England, tells editor Ailsa Colquhoun what he hopes for from the Green Paper if it is published in April. He also shares valuable insight into how care homes can become hubs of the local community when it comes to supporting those needing care. We also discuss the appointment of Kate Terroni as chief inspector of Adult Social Care at CQC and examine research showing how little is spent on residents’ catering in some council-funded care homes. Meanwhile, Exemplar Health Care’s director of referrals and business development Amanda Lighton talks about her rise from nurse level to board level as the company goes from strength to strength. We also hear from CQC improvement consultant Taruna Chauhan about how she mentors care home managers to help them raise their standards. #carehome #carenews #socialcare Support the show (http://chmonline.co.uk)

https://survivalwombyn.com/ When I was a boy, I was enchanted by the female form, the majestic whole woman. When my older male friends started to show me adult hardcore magazines I was offended and confused by their crude objectification of the models. They were more interested in the close-up action than the beauty of the emotional expressions. There was no natural and healthy context in those photographs and it hurt my eyes and heart. Much later in life I discovered through tantra yoga and psychedelic shamanic healing ceremonies that I was abused as a child. No wonder I didn’t vibe with the predator energy of the older boys. I always yearned for medicinal love and intimacy, and the peace and serenity of wild nature. I built a career as a sustainable edible landscape designer and as my personal healing journey has progressed, I have discovered my spiritual purpose as a wounded healer: to compost the patriarchy and help put five thousand years of male dominance over women, children, animals, and nature to rest. The Survival Wombyn project is one of my collaborative attempts to restore whole natural beauty to human sensuality. I endeavor to depict models in an innocent, wholesome, playful, yet purposeful manner that transcends the shackles of abusive fetishes and commercialized exploitation. In addition to re-positioning the home of eros back into nature, I feel compelled to empower women as role-models so they can demonstrate ecological values, knowledge, and skills. Rather than simply depict women enraptured in the sensuousness of natural settings, my goal is to feature their integration into nature through yoga, gardening, natural building, appropriate and sustainable technology, primitive skills, herbalism, shamanism, witchcraft, self defense training, and more. Most of my close female friends are diverse, beautiful Eco-Warrior Goddesses who can train mainstream models in these empowering and liberating arts. I believe conscious alt models can and will revolutionize and enlighten the dominant modeling industry paradigm. While much of the status quo industry defaults to a low form of black magic, titillating the vacuous male gaze and exploiting women’s beauty to sell products that harm the environment, we can do better with conscious, intentional, consensual green magic! When I am reborn, I want it to be in a future world where the intoxicating power of female beauty is intelligently used to keep men in a permanent state of graceful worship and service. Peace, prosperity, equality, and harmony can be restored when men lay down their axes and swords, and live in loving devotion to the divine, earthly, and human feminine essence.
Former Care Minister Paul Burstow and Joel Charles of Future Care Capital set out their hopes for the much anticipated social care green paper but the discussion suggests that these may be running ahead of expectations…. The Green Paper will present an opportunity for what has become, through long delay, a desperately needed settlement for social care. The vision needs to be long term and the system sustainable beyond the natural life span of the government that delivers it. Accountability needs to be sharpened at local level and there needs to be better alignment between the different players – in health as well as social care. People need to be made aware that individuals, by and large, have to pay for social care, and the public needs to be prepared for proposals – like the ill-fated dementia tax – that attempt to fund the system properly and also make it fairer for ‘self-funders'. Above all, there needs to be a re-think about data collection and use. The existing data that are collected, mostly for monitoring purposes, are unhelpful when it comes to thinking about doing things differently, and there needs to be much more local, granular data available to reflect the more complex needs of changing and ageing populations.

Mick Coyle looked into the government's plans to plough an extra £300mil funding into school's to help with extra mental health support for children. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, revealed plans for what he says is an 'ambitious' attempt to transform the treatment of young people with mental health problems.
