I quite agree, I think a complete record of the damage these cuts are having on people and services should be made and regularly posted to the Government,
I would also be interested in anything so far done by Community Psychology officers,
thanks,
Greta Sykes

Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] Advising re service cuts in the community
Please can any officer of the Community Psychology Section advise me
whether the section is producing a statement or advice to Local
Councils on the effects of cuts to services, such as clubs for the
elderly providing companionship and hot meals to those who almost
certainly will not have these community supports, due to local
authority cuts. I have received a flyer about complete cutting of
funds to such a charity in Holborn where 150 elderly people who might
otherwise be housebound will be abandoned to fend for themselves from
July this year due to such cuts.
It seems to me this was an ideal time for the Community Section to
have been formed and to marshall resources on these issues together
with the BPS as a whole.
This may all be going on, on one of the Community Psychology Websites
which I do not visit due to time constraints and not having got
familiar with them yet. I would be grateful for advice on this.
Thank you,
Erica Brostoff.
