@1adass Let us hope ADASS can impress upon him that social care matters not just because of the impact on the nhs. ADASS is more likely to succeed if it learns to understand need as it impacts on the people it serves, not resources campaignrealcare.org/post/the-adass…

ADASS@1adass·23 Eyl

Social care reform is a growing priority to help fix NHS, says Wes Streeting: 'We’ve got to have an honest conversation with the country about what we want from social care, how we would like to pay for it and how the system is constructed to deliver' the-independent.com/news/uk/nhs-he…

@MelanieNottsDA @SKinnock @1adass It has long been in successive governments interests to talk big about social care. It conceals the truth - perpetual inaction over funding made possible by a system that calibrates need to whatever resource the political system happens to make available. Time to wake up

Melanie Williams@MelanieNottsDA·23 Eyl

“For too long Social Care has been the Cinderella service - we will be starting a major conversation”. @SKinnock owning our social care system and clear about a focus on workforce. Important that conversations this conference about health reference social care. @1adass

@cath_roff @socfuture @UKLabour @tomriordan It is also factually correct that the ADASS Annual Budget Survey claims its members have actually made billions of pounds of ‘efficiency’ savings, painlessly delivered through best practice building on strengths

English

Cath Roff MBE@cath_roff·22 Eyl

@ColinSlasberg @socfuture @UKLabour @tomriordan It is not factually accurate to say ADASS members say they have enough resources to meet needs - far from it. Please refer to the annual budget survey. ADASS also does a submission to the CSR making the case for more funding.

In their mission for health & social care @UKLabour called for reform of social care starting from the @socfuture vision labour.org.uk/wp-content/upl… @cath_roff work in Leeds 👇starts from the same place. It’s an eg of approaches health & social care policy can support @tomriordan

Positive to hear @AlisonHoltBBC say on the @BBCNews that social care reform *not* just about ££ and highlighting the exciting new pilot in Leeds to transform homecare @cath_roff @socfuture

Colin Slasberg@ColinSlasberg·22 Eyl

@cath_roff @socfuture @UKLabour @tomriordan It is factually correct that all needs all councils have deemed eligible are always met. That is because eligibility is determined by the available budget. In this way Directors fatally undermine their own case for more funding

@JonGlasby @ImpAdultCare Coproduction can never be more than tokenistic window dressing in a system that systemically has to disempower service users in order to standardise and calibrate their needs to the local resource. Why does IMPACT not support the campaign for real change? campaignrealcare.org/charter

@BryonyShannon Changing the language without changing the story is just window dressing. Social care has done that so many times. It doesn’t work. Why not support the Campaign for Real Care proposed Charter for the Right to Wellbeing for real change

English

Colin Slasberg@ColinSlasberg·25 Nis

@RichardnotatKF Yes to avoid the narcissism of small differences - but surely also yes to open and honest debate about the big differences. We will be failing if we pretend all differences are small when they are not

English

Richard Humphries 💚@RichardnotatKF·25 Nis

David is spot on about the importance of strengthening this fragile alliance. We must work hard to avoid the narcissism of small differences. #socialcare

David Brindle@DavidJ_Brindle

Those of us making the case for #socialcare can seem a fragile alliance - and pressures are now so intense that we risk falling out. A thought for @cmm_magazine with props to @RichardnotatKF @lammadao caremanagementmatters.co.uk/feature/social…

Colin Slasberg@ColinSlasberg·25 Nis

@DavidJ_Brindle @cmm_magazine @RichardnotatKF @lammadao Yes to the need for a unifying focus in the search for change, David - why not the Campaign for Real Care’s Charter for the Right to Wellbeing? campaignrealcare.org/_files/ugd/f4d… Radical, politically challenging yes, but lawful and no financial risk

@DavidJ_Brindle @CentreForCare If you will allow me a PS, David….in your Foreword to our book you say it is personal budgets we disagree about. They are a completely different concept to direct payments. If you actually meant direct payments (when used to self direct) we are in complete agreement

English

David Brindle@DavidJ_Brindle·19 Nis

@ColinSlasberg @CentreForCare We've jousted on this before, Colin. You're right but short of that ideal direct payments (for a few) have been one bright hope in 30 years of despair in #socialcare

English

David Brindle@DavidJ_Brindle·18 Nis

Really good & co-produced take on the worrying decline of direct payments after they offered such promise for self-direction in #socialcare

Centre for Care@CentreForCare

In this new commentary, @DrCNeedham explores why the 'take-up of direct payments remains low and falling'. With important contributions from the Centre for Care Voice Forum and the university of Birmingham's Lived Experience Panel: centreforcare.ac.uk/commentary/202…

@DavidJ_Brindle @CentreForCare How about backing our Charter for the Right to Wellbeing as the route to systemic change David? campaignrealcare.org/charter

@BryonyShannon Are you then open to supporting the Campaign for Real Cares Charter for the Right to Wellbeing as the route to fundamental system change Bryony?

English

Colin Slasberg@ColinSlasberg·19 Nis

@BryonyShannon @angelacatley @SianCommCats @tricianicoll @AnnaSeverwright @clentonF @CoProIsaac @SibthorpKate @IanMcCreath @martindavidwal2 And the language we use is shaped by the way we think, feel and behave and the way we think feel and behave shaped by the system that we have to deliver. Do you not agree that language change without systemic change is merely cosmetic?

@RobMitch92 Rob - direct payments never were and never could be more than an escape route for the small minority who have what it takes. Do you not agree the real challenge is the system change that removes the need to escape?

English

Colin Slasberg@ColinSlasberg·19 Nis

@CentreForCare @DrCNeedham @ESRC @SCIE_socialcare @SocialcareToday @NI_SCC @skillsforcare @CareWorkersFund @CareEngland @LivingWageUK Direct payments to self manage was never more than an escape route for people who have what it takes. Whilst this small group should be celebrated as exemplars of best practice the real challenge is fundamental change to the mainstream to end the need to escape

Campaign for Real Care@RealCareUK·26 Mar

Excellent article. This is happening across the UK already. Bristol just exposed it via 'new' policy! The system nationally is resource led, perpetuated by councils unwilling to admit that they calibrate eligibility to fit budgets! Don't believe the standard rhetoric. It's lies.

Disability News Service@johnpringdns

A council has been accused of using underhand tactics to cut millions of pounds from support packages and push disabled people into residential care, despite being forced to withdraw a controversial policy that could have had the same impact. buff.ly/4a9Gide
