A great read-thank you Jim Reeder! I resonated with our responsibility as childhood disability researchers to fiercely advocate for our children & family research partners to be authentically involved, which requires constantly examining our own position & motives.

Privileged to join Tower Hamlets Council #adultsocialcare conference today on #coproduction - great insights from our community, SCIE, social care and health colleagues.

We often hear the narrative that there is nothing we can do to challenge injustices around us. But that simply isn’t true - even on the big issues, like #MigrantJustice , civil society is proving that everyday people can use the tools of #CommunityOrganising to win change 👏🏿🔥

A belief in unregulated, unfettered markets has led to huge inequality & laid fertile soil for populists. In a nutshell, freedom for the wolves has meant death for the sheep. Amid neoliberalism’s ruins, we need a new framework, writes Joseph E. Stiglitz in a new must-read book.

Looking way beyond the ‘shiny new toy’ hype of GenAI and discussing what needs to happen in order for it to benefit society. It was good to talk about the carefully planned steps we are taking at Scope and how we will involve disabled people at every step. #EqualFuture #AI
