David Oliver Wonder how many people put their need to access health and care services in a timely manner (or at all) above their desire to stop immigration. Time will tell.

David K Smith The government wants to reduce the number of overseas care workers. This is a way of putting them off without explicitly saying so. They have no plan to invest in the domestic care workforce to reduce reliance on sponsored workers. So many more people will go without care.

A big personal regret in life is how, despite the work I do around #socialcare, it wasn't until we were in the teeth of a 'crisis' that we really looked at 'formal' social care to support my dad. We just put the conversation off until we couldn't. 1/

Simon has done a much better job than me at taking the emotion out of the latest migration policy announcement and looking at its impact on social care. Take a look

BBC Radio 4 mellock completely clear on the challenges of insufficient funding for better care wages and need for a workforce plan to avoid business failure. CQCProf State of Care report and Skills for Care report outlined this too. Needs an initiative in time for spring.

UNISON - UK's largest union Community Integrated Care Dimensions Mencap Avenues Group Imagine Act Succeed Royal College of Occupational Therapists Anna Dixon MBE 💚 Gavin Edwards Martin Knapp Anna Dixon MBE 💚 “Public attitude to Social Care needs to change. We need to recognise that it affects all of us. Social Care is so critical to our social and economic well being as a society. Most of us will need care at one point in our lives.”

We’ve turned replies off on this thread, something that we’ve never done before ❌ But we don’t feel we have a choice. Earlier this week we posted about ableist slurs in Ricky Gervais’ new show. As a result, our replies have been full of abuse towards disabled people 🤬 1/7

Well said!

This could be an insightful session

Really interesting piece about the public's view of care services and how we need 'deep narrative change' to alter perceptions. We agree with this and offer services to allow active choice of care rather than people needing care being a passive participant

Carer's Allowance at £81.90 a week is an insult to #UnpaidCarers after all they do to fill in the gaps left by the Govt's broken social care system It also locks most carers out of paid work as claimants must be at home caring 35 hours a week minimum 🔗 bit.ly/3xsLJ8q
