There should be no debate!!! I’m sure each local authority would be able to stand up and shout about the fantastic work social care does in supporting our communities and alongside the NHS! Maybe they should see the pressures that frontline workforce are faced with at this time

A short thread /3 Last few days the news has been full of #Socialcare but little talk of younger or disabled people, community & a positive vision for change. Members have a clear vision for change captured in this graphic by Dr Pen Mendonca as part of contribution to #socialcarefuture

Today is my anniversary of starting with Somerset County Council. It’s been an amazing 13 years to my professional career & personal development 💫 Even though now is the toughest time of my career, I remain passionate to my profession & organisation. We will get through this 💪🏻

Just so honored to have collected this award on behalf of ⁦Somerset Council⁩ for Delivering Better Outcomes. Astonishing work from our colleagues across health & care and of course our amazing microproviders. Well done you lot ⁦

What a fab idea! The fight against prejudices. Each person has a title "unemployed", "refugee", "bipolar" etc - but by listening to their story, you realise how much you shouldn't "judge a book by its cover". Innovation at its best 🙌🏼humanlibrary.org 🌈💛 #unjudgesomeone

We all have tools around us to help promote our mental health. It may be hard to see at times, some need to look a little deeper for tools available to help us thrive. Today we’ve taken a morning to be in the great outdoors, which promotes our mental health #WorldMentalHealthDay

3am quote of the night shift - “the doctor has taken away her capacity” which led to a 3am learning session! The evidence and assessment process, the decision required and the differences between Mental Capacity Act and Mental Health Act

Question at 5am - what does a social worker do? That was a big question for my tired brain with lots of information to share about the role of a social worker. Lots of inquisitive people and teaching/learning opportunities - that’s why it’s great to be a social worker

What a week to be considering mental health, given it is the start of GCSEs and many young people potentially feeling anxious to each looming exam. Our young people may need a little more support over the next few weeks
