📢 The #HLAdultSocialCare Cttee's report is now live. It found that the continued #invisibility of #SocialCare dramatically impacts the lives of disabled adults, older people and unpaid carers. This is unfair and unsustainable, and needs to change. ⬇️ Watch our explainer video:

For this vision to happen, a lot of change is needed. Our recommendations are intended to start this programme of change.

I was really pleased to be a special adviser as a person with lived experience to this committee alongside Jon Glasby. The voice of people with lived experience was really listened to throughout & I think a powerful example that things can be done differently.

I am me. I have unique views. I am different. I believe my autism has influenced this. I believe in forgiveness of all and second, third etc chances because God allows me this through his son Jesus Christ. God puts no limit on forgiveness so neither do I. God is the judge not me.

I was really pleased to be on this commission. I think the key value that everyone (regardless of age or disability) should be able to flourish is so important. Glad Follow @OfficeofABC and the Church of England using their voice to support the call for a much needed better social care.

The SWEP (severe weather emergency protocol) has been activated and will be in place over the next few days. If you see anyone sleeping rough, please email [email protected] so the team can engage with them. You can also visit slough.gov.uk/homelessness/h…

The voices of disabled and older people could help shape the future of social care. ⁦Anna Severwright⁩ is a convenor of ⁦#socialcarefuture⁩ She tells me people who access social care services know what works but often aren’t listened to - Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

BBC Newsnight welcome you talked about social care but I heard tonight: 'vulnerable & frail' 'elderly & infirm' 'people who need looking after'. This language is not helpful & you never mentioned 1/3 are working age adults like me (I am none of the above)...

I think this is a very helpful look at autism from the perspective of one autistic woman. 'There's no one way to be autistic' bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/t… via BBC Ideas💡

Agreed, having just got on a train (without the prebooked assistance being there 🤷‍♀️) train travel is already stressful & often puts disabled people off travelling. These stealth staff cuts will make it almost impossible for many to travel or get the assistance they need.

Will, it's far too early to think about Christmas unless you have some freebies 😂

My Church had its annual general meeting today. I didn't feel up to attending but I was in its annual report. I thought I would share my bit below:

First day of the new job. Looking forward to my first #PMQs.

Congratulations Stephen Kinnock on becoming care minister. I draw on social care so know it's huge value to me but also wider society. We are often the last people new ministers meet with but we have lots of ideas & can help,so please draw on our expertise too #socialcarefuture Wes Streeting MP

Congratulations Anna Severwright and all the other winners

This isn't a theoretical issue or about helping the NHS. This is real people's lives (including mine) who are disabled or older and deserve the support they need. Rachel Reeves Wes Streeting Keir Starmer It might seem too hard but we're here to help bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
