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 have supported this call for the government to fully fund the NI increase for social care in the Financal Settlement www.local.gov.uk/lg-finance-p...

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...

And with support from the Lottery our host organisation In Control has developed a 'Speaker Finder Service' full of brilliant, engaging, insightful social care-experienced people for you to choose from 6/ in-control.org.uk/speaker-find...

But we're often told by events organisers & others that they struggle to find people, or don't know how to include people. So working with @tlap.bsky.social we've produced guidance on mounting inclusive & insightful events 4/ socialcarefuture.org.uk/new-resource...
