Great to see so many tributes to the hugely respected @SirRichardLeese After a quarter of a century as leader- his role in making Manchester the city it is today cannot be overstated and leaves a great legacy behind. He’ll be greatly missed in Manchester and across local govt!

"A job that's flexible around life, especially if you have a family. It would allow you to take time to pick up the kids. Employers need to look after people. Richard Branson said it: look after your staff and they look after you" 1/9

One learning from #PovertyTruthMcr is the importance of trauma informed responses. 1/5 of the people we help @CAPuk tell us they experienced trauma in childhood. What does a trauma informed response in debt collection look like? Has anyone written anything about this?

#povertytruthmcr looking at exploitation:
- everyone is deserving of love, and that helps make us safe
- everyone should have what they need to be safe
- some of the systems that should protect people from exploitation, can make people more vulnerable
