A fiasco of breathtaking proportions. The deeper issue - Every single person I’ve ever spoken to, supported, or worked alongside, without exception utterly despises the PFS card system.
Disabled people who rely on social care are still struggling to pay their personal assistants, more than a month after a catastrophic technology failure.

This is a vital and timely article by a diverse group of experts including people with lived experience, families, and professionals, whose insights demand public and political attention @wesstreeting . Learning disability nurses are not just valuable, they are indispensable.

Oh gosh….Social workers aren’t responsible for decades of underinvestment or any outdated local council policies. Yet they consistently are the ones left to absorb the fallout, long after the headlines fade and they will still show up. While consultants may profit from being.

Nice one Kensington & Chelsea for an outstanding CQC rating for adult social care. Government will likely spin it as proof that “local leadership” alone can overcome chronic underfunding, conveniently ignoring the national shortfall that’s grinding other councils into the ground.
CQC rates Kensington and Chelsea Council’s adult social care provision as outstanding.
