At our September gathering over 200 people who draw on social care and allies came together to share and generate suggestions for consideration by the Casey Commission on the future of adult social care. Today we're sharing these in a short film & report (link in replies) youtu.be/2s3F_xBCunY

For fellow movement builders & shakers @socialcarefuture.bsky.social has shared this today - learning and reflections on several years of trying to shift a system to be more human sized and shaped thru growing narrative, people & relational power. Hope helpful socialcarefuture.org.uk/noticeboard/...

How can a shift in the way we communicate about adult social care help build understanding & win stronger public support for investment and reform? New from Frameworks UK for @socialcarefuture.bsky.social @adass.bsky.social @tlap.bsky.social @local.gov.uk socialcarefuture.org.uk/noticeboard/...

When we think ahead do we have the kind of social care services that appeal to our future selves? The emerging results from our www.wigo.org.uk @gobbyio.bsky.social survey supported by @socialcarefuture.bsky.social are indicating a resounding NO WE DON'T!

Really interesting question and response from @blimeysimon.bsky.social about the real prioritisation accorded to 'social care' by the public - that maybe people are concerned about issues that are shaped by policy around social care, but when asked won't associated these with 'social care' 1/

We’re asking for pro bono help from policy & academic allies to help flesh this out. We were clear that there will be serious power issues in play as standards are developed & we need help from allies to ensure the priorities of people who draw on social care are at the centre

At Birmingham University yesterday a group came together focussed on ensuring that the proposed national care standards start from what matters to people who draw on social care. We invite contributions from others with this goal Thread👇 1/

If you don't invest in adult social care, NHS waiting lists will grow and grow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

really like this animation, challenging thinking about what care should be Shares key bits of framing with @socialcarefuture.bsky.social narrative (care 'not a dead end destination'). Loving the inclusion of chip spice too @blimeysimon.bsky.social www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/imo/your-sto...

Good to see lots of leaders in the social care field embracing the case for work to change the narrative, something @socialcarefuture.bsky.social has spearheaded for several years. Here's 5 things everyone communicating about social care can do easily socialcarefuture.org.uk/noticeboard/...

On Thursday some of us - including @tlap.bsky.social will be coming together with @socialcarefuture.bsky.social at Uni of Birmingham to explore ASC Standards with people who draw on care & support. Then Friday #TimeToActReformBoard meet @sallywarren.bsky.social to talk #NHS10YearPlan #Change

Time to fix some social care “plumbing and wiring” for example 👇

Help us make sure that any national standards for social care start from the vision of a better future and don’t anchor us to the past. Help make sure they reflect what is important to people who draw on social care to live their lives www.linkedin.com/posts/martin...
