This is the first I've heard of this news, although to be fair I don't often issue equipment in my current role #OccupationalTherapy

I worked very closely with #OccupationalTherapists as a mental health social worker, so I knew their approach was practical, holistic, and person-centred.
The way we function in our day to day lives is never purely physical. It’s also emotional, psychological, spiritual, and uniquely individual.

How the fuck would ANY ONE know that's police?! Tell me. In fact, prove that they are. How does this not create the ability for random masked men to kidnap people into vans in broad daylight??
If your country’s police starts looking like this you are extraordinarily fucked.
The only appropriate response is a civil uprising.

In London, nearly half of the people sleeping rough are migrants.
People who have moved to the UK can face complex challenges to leave homelessness behind. Each person has their own story, skills & future hopes.
But how do we support non-UK nationals to find safe routes away from the streets?⬇️

Any other OTs think that a reliance on AI could cause de-skilling? Or am I being a luddite? Ecological and ethical concerns aside...

If you work in health,care or education, its vital to document incidents thoughtfully Is your account factual or is it influenced by personal interpretation?
Reflect on what could have been done differently
Accurate, reflective documentation leads to learning and safer practices.
