If people can't pay social care charges, they can't pay. Wasting local tax payers' money on debt recovery and legal actions is not the way forward on the crisis of care charge debt, in the NE (over 6000 care debt recovery actions by Durham Council since 2021) and across the UK.

Councils are morally bankrupt when forced by courts to ‘review its policies’. Local Authorities themselves should be absolutely outraged & publicly leading the challenge to government for central funding to replace charging individual citizens. #RememberWhyYouWorkWhereYouWork x.com/ocharging/stat…
Great to see @BBCLondonNews covering the scam of massive service charge hikes in flats. My charges have increased 100% plus. Over £3000 a year and keep on going up. Trapped as can’t afford to move.
It bothers me when I hear 'compassion' & 'relationships' framed as tools to pave the way for the 'doing'. As if the relational side is just a kind of strategy to enable the 'real work'. Can we flip this round? Caring about relationships is central, & it matters that it's genuine.

I'm all for reducing coercive practice but this trend in mental health services to place all responsibility on patients is dangerous and heartless. Expecting people who are scared, ambivalent, or just too unwell to know they are unwell to not only advocate for their own care 1/8
A million percent this 👇
Finally catching up with Mr Bates vs The Post Office and bloody hell it just captures the worst of public bodies doesn't it? Not an ounce of surprise they treated people this way. Fuckers!
I’d like to see some central govt ‘productivity plans’. Like, how much wasted money goes into councils having to compete for for small pots of funding based on govts ideas of what outcomes local places need as opposed to actual need

@RobMitch92 I don't work in hospital discharge but as an MHO have a lot to do with it sometimes. It's too often conveyer belt social work at its absolute worst. Reduces human beings to stats and numbers to be shifted.
We asked friends who draw on social care 'If the right support were available, what would you love to do with your life?' Here's what they told us 👇 If you draw on social care, tell us what you'd love to do in life, using #IWouldLoveTo Read more: socialcarefuture.org.uk/noticeboard/iw…

More than 60,000 adults were chased for debts by councils last year over their social care charges Claimants say they can't afford the charges amid rising food and rent prices & the added costs of living with disabilities My report with @AlisonHoltBBC bbc.co.uk/news/uk-646687…
As professionals, we have ++power to influence people's lives. And as people, there are so many invisible intra/inter-personal factors swirling around impacting our work. Reflective practice is a way to be more conscious of these. It's just not ok that there 'isnt time' for this.
It's always something I've always wanted to put to politicians seemingly advocating about coming out. I mean which right would you like to water down @RobertJenrick, perhaps you're little bit of torture is ok? Bit easy to deprive people of their liberty?

Terrible service @eon_next Passing on my address for a debt you clearly know I don't owe from period I wasn't in the address for. Please sort out your terrible legal partners bw legal also whom are impossible to get hold of. hope the 50 debt was worth losing a loyal customer for
Adult social care is invisible despite so much data being provided & solutions put to the @DHSCgovuk It’s ignored & I feel for the Civil Servants likely trying from within too. Social Care must have a defined department of state with a minister for social care & shadow equivalent

Thank you @RajeshThind #Defiance for the brilliant work bringing our ignored/forgotten Asian British history to life. took a while to watch as knew would be painful. I was 6 in ‘71 when I asked Dad if we were human beings cos we were brown (McGurrinB21). Whats changed?
Councils are morally bankrupt when forced by courts to ‘review its policies’. Local Authorities themselves should be absolutely outraged & publicly leading the challenge to government for central funding to replace charging individual citizens. #RememberWhyYouWorkWhereYouWork x.com/ocharging/stat…
@ermate @JamieStone3579 Yes, it depresses me just how let down people with autism are - from schools casting aside, to services tossing you about, to families being left to struggle alone, to odd behaviours being medicalised & criminalised - it’s a national disgrace just how far we’ve fallen & failed.
@blimeysimon Interesting article aimed at social care but there is another side to this & that’s access to primary & secondary healthcare care with no reasonable adjustments & expecting citizens to slot into organisational policy & procedure with narrow funding criteria stopping home visits.
@JamieStone3579 @StowJames @1adass @LGAWellbeing @BASW_UK @londoncouncils @CommunityCare Roll out the CBE’s & OBE’s !
I've been thinking about why i find 'formal' meetings such a barrier. To me, they're a bit like a charade where we're expected to perform in role. I'm much happier in informal spaces. But what is formal? Maybe it's just where we dont really have any sense of each other as people?
@StowJames @1adass @LGAWellbeing @BASW_UK @londoncouncils @CommunityCare Autism ‘strategy’ should be replaced with autism ‘humanity’ !
@ermate Slot being operative word with no consideration for personal needs. @1adass @LGAWellbeing @BASW_UK @londoncouncils @CommunityCare
@JamieStone3579 Yes virtue signalling on fire. The actual reality is appalling & who cares, not people in key positions of leadership, policy & influence, that’s for sure. I get absolutely nowhere & I’m not alone.
Feeling angry on #WorldAutismAwarenessDay because there is so much rhetoric from organisations. Despite the law,huge injustices take place everyday in England across LocalAuthorities/NHS/ICB’s. Reasonable adjustments? Yeah right! Either it’s no services or slot into our services!
Sometimes we support people whose only family&advocacy is from the state&takes place over decades. Today a citizen passed away who despite a complex life was a good life.Privilege to know him for 17 years.His consistant care&support team was social care at its best. Rest up pal x
Better Social care, improved housing, a fair benefits system, access to community support, reduction on drug abuse and improved prevention services. We have all been going on about all of this for many years now!!
Mental illness costs England £300bn a year.. We need to re-imagine how society works. We can’t just say ‘more money for mental health services’ - though that IS important. We need to address the social and economic determinants of mental illness. theguardian.com/society/2024/m…
Psychology services are so specialist, with narrow criteria, & inaccessible to many people. I think there's a case for investing in general & accessible psychology services for people who want to make sense of the complexities of where we are & what we're going through.
CHC is… *bollocks ✔️ Social Care is not free…
Continuing Health Care is so devoid of humanity & is ridiculously complicated& so poorly put in place for many people it’s abysmal. At my place the professional forum is jammed with questions,scratching heads,poor process&huge frustration.Derek should of still had it of course👇

Kate Garraway has said the £16,000 monthly cost of her husband Derek Draper's care caused her to rack up huge debts. The final year of Derek's life is documented in a new programme on @ITV tonight, in which Draper speaks on camera for the first time, saying: 'I want to be heard'
Great to see @BBCLondonNews covering the scam of massive service charge hikes in flats. My charges have increased 100% plus. Over £3000 a year and keep on going up. Trapped as can’t afford to move.
For years the public narrative about social care has centred on insuring for the event of having to moving into a care home. What if we focused the debate on insuring against moving into a care home in the first place? makingrightsmakesense.wordpress.com/2024/03/11/ins…
Interesting stuff from @JohnBaker_Leeds @Mental_Elf “The open-door policy could be safely implemented without increased use of coercive measures.” *We r overly reliant on the #MHA & greater levels of coercion as the solution to the problem & to manage risk✔️
