Now six years ago and we still wait, why? @andyburnham.bsky.social @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social when will the role of a #caresupporter be recognised. This is not about visiting #GloriasLaw #RightsForResidents

We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too. Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It really makes no sense, with over 140,00 vacancies in social care, politicians seem to have such disregard for the people, jobs, social care sector, they will soon find a much bigger problem than nhs waiting lists exploding #RightsForResidents

Hi everyone! Some of you may remember me from that other place (X). I'm still posting there but missing some folk who moved here only so I'll be running on both just now. I'm a career care home gal, passionate about changing the image of care homes. Spread the news that I'm here now!

Today is a #dayofreflection. We remember the #carehome residents, our loved ones lost. Through the pain and anger there is also friendship and a determination to make sure that never again can this happen. The legal right to a #CareSupporter must become law #GloriasLaw #RightsForResidents

An interesting read. 5 years on, we reflect on the lives lost and continued fight to get #GloriasLaw, the legal right to a #CareSupporter. For those in care, to have been separated from the people who knew them the best for such an extended time, we must never allow this again #RightsForResidents

Given my dad's death was brought about through his isolation on a hospital ward, while living with dementia, during a local lockdown in 2020, I support this measure, but I also find it deeply disturbing and problematic that, absent the conditions of a pandemic, it should even be vaguely necessary

Hate the phrase bed blocking. These are some of the most vulnerable people, being let down by a very fractured system. Their only wish is to get back to their home with the support they need. THEY are not blocking the beds, it is being imposed on them by continuous failings #RightsForResidents
