Language and rhetoric IS important. Changing established use requires CRITICAL MASS. It is difficult to persuade 'people', 'carers', and 'professionals' to stop using the label of 'service user' without a solid alternative that they associate with, and is used/understood by many
Services should support not define or direct someone’s life. That’s why the term “service user” is such a limiting & unhelpful term. It defines the person in terms of their relationship to a service; not their life & preferred future. Services shld supplement, not define a life.

‼️ The aesthetics of our streets and place matter‼️ Mental wellbeing is higher when neighbourhoods have good aesthetic qualities https://t.co/5ANH4peiA5 We 'felt' the aesthetics today on our walkabout of our 4 local areas in Essex for #participatory, #community, #actionresearch

Here’s how I characterize the journey from institutization to interdependence in diverse natural/normalized community life. From ‘done to’ & ‘done for’ to “done by & led by citizens” with supplementary help from professionals as needed. Some folks are getting stuck in the middle.

For communities, there are three kinds of “outside helper” in this world: 1) Useful; 2) Useless, and 3) Harmful. The most dangerous helpers are the ones that think they can only do good. #whenhelpingharms #rekindlingdemocracy

Really pleased Labour are calling for clarity on lockdown for shielding group. When I argued for it in my column this week, was noticeable some non-disabled readers thought it wasn’t a big deal to ask us to indefinitely put our lives on hold. Funny that.

Started reading to my mum over phone every night. A few pages a night, a book a week. We both fully self isolating for over a week. Grandchildren and grandmother read too. #intergenerationalreading by phone
