In my #podcast this week I explore the issue of #socialcare being a driver for #prevention across #health and #wellbeing in #Scotland. #reform, #wholesystem, #publichealth. open.spotify.com/episode/3bZDXu…

#SocialCare as #Prevention: the quiet revolution hiding in plain sight. #health #wellbeing #publichealth #reform #Scotland. scottishcare.org/news/social-ca…

Social care promotes wellbeing, helping prevent illness or giving people the resilience to cope with illness. This wellbeing is aided by our community, the people & places, the joys & jobs that keep us occupied, make us feel safe & offer connections. Community is a key enabler.

Scottish Care welcomes @InspiringSland 's Effective Voice Framework review. A strong, collective voice for social care benefits the workforce and strengthens the sector. Read the report here 📄: buff.ly/B1BfqSv

In my #podcast this week I share some thoughts from a recent speech on #adultprotection and safeguarding and consider how critical it is that we hold in balance issues of #autonomy and #choice with the desire to protect. #Humanrights at the heart. open.spotify.com/episode/2f0aSf…

In this piece I share why I believe #adultprotection and #safeguarding must always balance #safety and #autonomy with #risk and restriction. Holding liberty and safety in one hand: #adultprotection and #humanrights scottishcare.org/holding-libert…
