"We know what needs to be done. Let’s do it."
Michael Marmot on the need to increase the value of social security and ensure that everyone in work is paid at least a Living Wage, to protect people's health and protect people from poverty.
We agree!

As we wait to see whether Scottish Government politicians have the courage to make the positive changes recommended by the Feeley report there's never been a more important time for the voices of people using social care support to be heard.

Our new report on draft uprating regulations welcomes @scotgov plan to increase level of some benefits by more than agreed inflation measure. But we note a need for clarity on strategic approach and evidence base, particularly if uprating isn't routine.

With COVID chaos, mentoring matters even more. Great to close out 2020 & into a brighter 2021. Become an @mcrpathways mentor to ensure a young person can realise their potential & overcome every challenge. You really will make but also experience a lifechanging difference.

At heart of the debate is what we think #homecare is? - for me it is about enabling a life to be lived to the full - you cannot squeeze a relationship into 15 mins - you get transaction and task not life and purpose #homecareday @drjanetownson @scottishcare @ukhca

It's great news that Jim - a member of the People-led Policy Panel among many other roles - is to be on this. It's so important that people using social care support are heard if the review is to deliver long-awaited meaningful change for, and with, them and their families.

Good news! Last week the People-led Policy Panel told @derekfeeleyQI it’s important for someone who uses social care support to be on the independent review advisory panel. Today Jim Elder-Woodward is on it. Thanks for listening Derek. Please keep listening!

Can you think of someone who made an impact on your life? A teacher, a coach, or a family friend. Do you remember what their words meant to you? Or how it wasn't what they said, but that they were there to listen?

The lived experience evidence provided by over 800 disabled people/ supporters who completed the @InclusionScot survey painted a bleak picture of the impact of #COVID19. Great to see their voices are being heard and taken seriously by the people with power to change that.
11 Jun 2020
We were delighted to see evidence we shared with the Covid-19 Committee taken very seriously at today's. Coronavirus update with @NicolaSturgeon, and gladly accept @JeaneF1MSP's invitation to discuss what more can be done.
