Summer is a great time for people living in care to enjoy time outdoors (with protection from the sun, of course). But the heat can also pose a risk, especially during heatwaves. Read our advice on staying safe in care during hot weather 👇 carerightsuk.org/news/hot-weath… #CareRights

I was honoured to help judge the #PalliativeCareAwards. Such an uplifting night, celebrating such fantastic work. Well done to all the winners, nominees and everyone working to support people at the end of life. Your work is so important. Thank you! #CareRights Care Talk

What kind of message does it send to say clocking off at 6pm once a week is "part-time"? Good leadership is about recognising that down time and family time are vital. Whether you have children or not. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Our right to vote has been hard-fought for by generations before us. We must not take it for granted. It is the one time our silent, individual acts shut down all the noise. Use your vote today ✊

A historic night. Let's hope it turns into a historic future for social care. And that our new Prime Minister delivers on his promise to bring in a new right to a #CareSupporter #CareRights #GloriasLaw bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We know there are many urgent priorities for the new UK Government. Ensuring dignity & respect for older and disabled people who draw on social care must top the list. Read our response to the #GeneralElection result 👇 carerightsuk.org/news/new-dawn-… Wes Streeting Andrew Gwynne MP #CareRights

We're in North Wales, ready for our zipwire challenge tomorrow. Getting progressively more terrified the further into the journey, on buses, tubes, train and car. But it is beautiful. Still time to sponsor us! All for a great cause👍 #CareRights gofundme.com/f/zipwire-for-…

Another stark warning on the perilous state of social care in England. Behind the stats are people whose lives are being destroyed by budgets stretched to indignity & a focus on systems rather than people. This cannot continue. Our director in The Guardian 👇 theguardian.com/society/articl…

This time last week I was hurtling at 100+mph over a quarry in North Wales! It was a terrifying experience, pushing my fear of heights to the max! All for a good cause, to fund our campaign for a new right to a #CareSupporter. Still time to donate! 🙏 gofundme.com/f/zipwire-for-…

Great to see the first sector-led Workforce Strategy for England. Thanks to members of our Lived Experience Group who contributed to its development, which the report said "enhanced the overall quality of feedback". Over to the new Government to implement it at pace! #CareRights

The Sec of State has confirmed what families have said for years: CQC is not fit for purpose. For years we've called on CQC to act to protect people relying on care. Their failings leave lives & dignity at risk. We hope now CQC will be forced to act. Our reaction in The Times and The Sunday Times 👇

Read our reaction to Wes Streeting calling the care regulator for England 'not fit for purpose'. What has gone wrong? What needs to happen now? We hope this will be a catalyst for change at Care Quality Commission, which is urgently needed. carerightsuk.org/news/cqc-faili… #CareRights
