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

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…

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

Following yesterday’s vote at Holyrood, Scottish Care is clear that attention must now turn to how Scotland supports people at the end of life. Our full statement sets out key priorities for palliative & end of life care and the role of social care: 👉 scottishcare.org/assisted-dying…

Fair Work commitments from the Scottish Government are welcome - but Fair Work without funding is not Fair Work. Delivery will depend on clear, fully funded action across all commissioned care services. Read our full statement: buff.ly/yQEMfsn

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…
