I attended #ShowUsYouCare event in parliament where I met my constituent, Jack Hassan, to discuss his experiences living with a disability and the social care services available to him. We talked about the need for flexible social care that supports everyone.

It was a pleasure to join @csalliance.bsky.social in Parliament to talk to MPs about how vital good, reliable #SocialCare is. Thank you to all who invited their MP and made sure people living with mental ill-health, service providers, and carers were represented. #ShowUsYouCare tinyurl.com/522v67k9

"It’s great news that the terms of reference have now been published and work has got formally underway. However, we are dismayed that they refer to “recommendations that can be implemented in a phased way over a decade”, suggesting we will not get a fully reformed social care system until 2036."

CSA members warn Govt of strain on social care as national insurance hike kicks in. @ncfcareforum.bsky.social Jane Townson @homecareassn.bsky.social says we will see “harm to individuals; greater burdens on unpaid carers; and more pressure on NHS services” www.communitycare.co.uk/2025/04/07/p...

Latest data shows 53% of the public are ‘very’ or ‘quite’ dissatisfied with social care. Consistent failure to invest in social care makes this unsurprising. The Casey Commission’s recommendations for reform of social care are sorely needed. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

1/5📢 NEW: We’ve updated #SocialCare360 – our ‘360-degree’ review of the adult #SocialCare sector in England. Let’s dig into what the data from 2023/24 can tell us.

Decades of inaction on social care have left many unpaid carers exhausted and struggling. We can’t keep waiting. The government must invest in support for carers.​

Our vision for social care is one where all of us can get the support we need, when we need it. Read more: careandsupportalliance.com/about-us/%E2...

The government commission on social care needs to include immediate and long term plans to address the urgent issues preventing timely access to social care.

New research from CSA member @mariecurieuk.bsky.social explores the financial and employment impacts of end of life caring. We’re calling for fully funded support for all unpaid carers.​

New research from CSA member @dementiacarers.bsky.social shows unpaid carers fear what will happen to their loved ones if they aren’t able to continue caring. Govt must fully fund support for carers.

“Charging practices often leave people who draw on care feeling devalued and unfairly treated by a system that undermines autonomy and independence.” www.theguardian.com/society/2025... (1/2)

Our latest survey showed around 80% of councils in England were set to overspend on adult social care by 564mn collectively last year. We need a fully-funded, long-term plan for adult social care so people can live their lives in ways that matter to them. news.sky.com/story/

NEW from CSA member @homecareassn.bsky.social: 83% of homecare providers said their local council had cut the number of care packages since Jan 2022. 81% said councils have cut the number of hours they're willing to fund, so carers spend less time in people's homes. news.sky.com/story/it-fee...
