In this blog, @martinwalkersds.bsky.social reflects on the role of plans in care and support, believing that they should be living and evolving, rather than rigid blueprints. What if care and support plans could be more adaptable, enabling people to build a good life their way? bit.ly/439Pj5i

Citizenship, community, connectednessAm convinced building & reinforcing these is key to a transformed social care system, but it seems to me our natural tendency is to not be very good at them....you just need to watch the news periodically. A focus on responsibilities and getting better at them?

What is a citizen? It’s got nothing to do with your passport. We are all equal already. We all have dignity already. To be a citizen is to know that you are enough and that we each have our own unique contribution to make. youtu.be/9W31efd_SYM
