Wow! So brave ❤️
I’m running out of words to describe my astonishment. Just over 3 weeks after #MahsaAmini’s death, women are defiantly walking on the streets of #Tehran, with no hijab…while cars are honking in their supports. Mahsa couldn’t have imagined how she changed life for many Iranians.

Community led support in action has meant I’ve survived this week when mum and dad in crisis. I’ve brought together Neighbours, friends , family all rallying round to support me and my mum and dad. Real friends , real connections and a great care agency. Forever grateful ❤️

Three years ago, Beth was locked in a seclusion cell. Clinicians then were recommending she went to Rampton Today we went out shopping together, then she cooked me an amazing chicken curry The right care, in the right environment, by amazing staff with humanity & right support.

This is a legacy indeed. Mainly down to @Mwharvey when we shared the CSW role. He was determined to set up the right framework, and there were a lot of doubters as to whether it would get funded. You did it Mark. Congratulations!

@Mwharvey What a day! The launch of the SC WRES website! See, look what you started! Now, that's a legacy! #congratulations @franlc @triciaapc @skillsforcare @jeremyhuntdiary

Funny how when you become a carer to your parents everything you learnt as a professional goes out the window! We have a long way to go keeping it real!! I’ve always admired what family carers do. im now in absolute awe of them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

(1/2) It’s #TimeToTalk day & like many others, we think #HumanConnection is the answer to #ToughTimes - that’s why we created #PublicLivingRooms. They’re welcoming, no agenda spaces where folk can sit alongside others & #LookOutForEachOther.
