“I can’t sleep, I’m so scared.” My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Feels good to have a Chief Social Worker back in DHSC and spending the day listening to and engaging with the Adults PSW Network. #SocialWork

Great to be at WECIL’s Community Event today thinking about choice, control and doing things differently. Heard about www.accesscharity.org.uk/accessava which provides free legal information about adult social care and now human rights with the brilliant BIHR.

At #NCASC24 Strong argument for being led by people though strengths-based practice from Amy Hurst of the South West Regional Principal Social Worker Network “Spend longer building relationships with people” enables the best and most creative practice

The focus on transitions is so welcome this year at #ncasc24. Delighted to see the adults *and* children’s Principal Social Workers talking whole family - great role-modelling of the kind of boundary-spanning leadership we need.

At #ncasc24 Amanda Threfall shares her caring journey with her late partner David. In Covid, a small direct payment that she used for online music lessons, made the difference between managing, or falling into crisis. We need to listen & be led by what’s important to people. @lynromeo.bsky.social

Yesterday we spoke at #NCASC24 about working within the Care Act during times of financial pressure. 🧵🪡 Our argument was that focusing on wellbeing is rights-based & promotes citizenship; relational & strengths-based practice is evidence-based as most effective; we can think we’re most effective…

Great and inspiring day today at the South West Direct Payment Network conference. Great speakers including @Martin Walker from @TLAP and Direct Payment employer, Sam, who told us why direct payments give him the right choice, control and flexibility to live the life he wants: youtu.be/Fbx0eib7SzM

We had our Local Authority CQC inspection recently- we haven’t yet had any feedback, but wanted to share these reflections hopefully to reassure my fellow Principal Social Workers and other leaders in adult social care 👇
