Thought-provoking and (mainly) inspiring day with @FutureGovForum @CitizensUK @UCLPolicyLab @peoplesbiz talking about the challenges & opportunities ahead of the next Gov - @TLAP1 @clentonF flying the flag for working with citizens & including those left on the margins
“If you achieve things in government it’s in spite of the system usually, not because of it.
“Missions could be a great opportunity for focusing minds on bold, long term goals.”

A valuable opportunity to help shift the narrative around #Care and support from @TLAP1 ⬇️ #LanguageMatters
Do you want to work with us to shift the narrative around care and support❓
We're working with @bryonyshannon to update our Jargon Buster and flag words we feel don't belong in a human approach to care and support. That's where you come in... 1/2

Focus on Direct Payments today hearing diverse voices and big ideas for overcoming those knotty direct payment conundrums. @tricianicoll herded cats, @isaacsamuels and @Bocciakid set the scene, @1adass and @TLAP1 keen to lead the way.

This afternoon I'll be attending a @TLAP1 summit aimed at increasing/improving the usage of #socialcare direct payments. Here's why it's needed. Despite the promise of the 2014 Care Act, the no. of people using direct payments has actually declined. kingsfund.org.uk/publication…

‘Stories have to inform policy - People with lived experience have to be central to those policy decisions. Experience and seeing care firsthand is what will change minds.’

#DirectPayments are the route to truly personalised support. I whole heartly support this call to action 📢
We need concerted action to improve #DirectPayments, so that people who draw on care and support have better opportunities to be in control of their care and support, as a right, not a privilege.
This is why👇👇

Great to hear @Helen_Whately talk with commitment about the importance of shifting the balance towards more earlier, joined up care for older people living in their own homes, rather than assuming an institutional setting is best. The challenge is doing it!
