Great coverage in the @Independent of the new @LGAcomms and @1adass Time To Act Reform Board paper making the case for proper investment in earlier action and support. So much good stuff to build on, so much ambition to do more. #FutureOfASC

Big balls create big gaps right? But, in social care when you introduce community models (small balls), they fill those gaps. This is exactly what @SharedLivesPlus @CommCats and ourselves are advocating at #NCASC24. We don't want anyone to fall through those gaps. #BetterNow
I’ve double checked, and can confirm that we’re the only stand with balls at #NCASC24. Come and play at stand A5 and see what we can do to make social care #BetterNow.

What’s getting in the way of progress in social care? Though of course £ is the biggest issue, there are other issues that could be tackled early that would really help. We have been talking to people who draw on support, council and provider staff & others @SKinnock

Time for a new dawn in #socialcare? @ewandking @PipCannons @billrlove think so. Read why in @themjcouk
A new vision is needed for social care, say Ewan King, Bill Love and Pip Cannons. They emphasise models are available now to facilitate a shift to more support in communities https://t.co/maCmf2eCpd via @themjcouk
