Tricia Keilthy, Head of Policy @ombudsmanireland.bsky.social highlighted a child rights perspective on #care — the State’s responsibility to protect and support all children. Rising child poverty, children living in emergency accommodation & direct provision remain urgent issues.

Elaine Teague @disabilityfed.bsky.social highlighted the need to rethink how we define #care & support. Support is a right — care is built on relationships. People with disabilities ask for support, not care. A whole-of-society approach, inclusion & co-design are key to independent living.

At the panel discussion of our social policy conference, Clare Duffy @carersireland.bsky.social called for renewed ambition for #carers — a cohesive, united voice to champion real progress. Carers deserve adequate income, respite & true recognition of the vital work they do. #care
