Hope in the Deep End Podcast - Let's Talk about Toilets!

Welcome to our podcast 'Hope in the Deep End', brought to you by the Shared Health Foundation.

In this podcast series we are exploring all the different complexities of working in areas of deprivation, poverty and entrenched health inequalities. From clinicians to youth workers, we want to inspire, challenge and give inspiration to all those that work in the deep end.

Let's Talk about Toilets!

Professor Monica Lakhanpaul is a Consultant Paediatrician and Professor of Integrated Community Child Health at University College London and is passionate about toilets! 

Talking about the loo is not a common conversation in the UK. We often refer to poor hygiene in toilets and lack of clean water in 3rd world countries. Clinicians often are taught to treat constipation and UTIs with prescribed medicine but there is actually so much more behind the emotional and mental health of a child that affects their bowel movements. Asking the question where the toilet is situated, does it have light, who else has access to the toilet, how clean is it, can you afford to keep it clean and how does it make you feel when you use it can open up a whole conversation that you never expected to have!

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that provides advice for safer sleeping for babies and support for parents and professionals going through a Sudden Infant Death.

Our recent report from The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Temporary Accommodation shows that 34 homeless children died because of their vulnerability and homelessness. How did that happen? What can we do to stop it happening again? What are the risks of co-sleeping?

Dr Laura Neilson and Jenny Ward, CEO of The Lullaby Trust talk all things babies, cots and poverty.

In this episode we meet Angie and Matt, who are Focused Care Practitioners in Oldham. There are over 120,000 homeless children in England alone, many are part of a single parent household who face multiple barriers to health, housing and education. These households get placed in various forms of homeless accommodation including B&Bs, Hostels and Temporary Accommodation. 

Focused Care works to make the invisible patient, visible. By working under a flexible remit and time elastic support service, Focused Care is able to unpick the problems behind the problems, remove barriers of social injustice and bring hope to the most difficult and traumatic situations.
