If you’d like to explore & support a more care filled future do get involved with @caref_ll we’re keen to find allies.
Let’s call a spade a spade. #Carer’s allowance is a farce! A spinsters allowance that’s been tweaked over the past 50 years, leaving a patronising, insulting & blooming complicated allowance which is now a site of stress & punishment for many whose lives are already too hard. 🧵
There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.
Our system designed with the singular, narrow aim of getting people into work looks very different from one which supports people to live well. In fact, the former undermines the latter as @PollardTom sets out so well.

The debts unfairly handed down to carers need to be immediately revoked, but what if we also saw this as a moment for transformational change, towards a caring welfare state? Here’s a quick 🧵 of some of the bigger changes we’d like to see politicians explore …

Carer’s Allowance clearly just isn’t fit for purpose. Rather than just patching it up, at @caref_ll we hope this is a moment to design something fairer and more caring. Time to think more ambitiously!

Great to be at the launch of @oxfamgb’s report launch focusing on carer poverty
"It is a deep cultural, institutional problem that the department [DWP] treats people with distrust and suspicion." @PollardTom was on @LBC to discuss the carers scandal
"the world now does not enable us to care for ourselves – let alone one another – without reaching breaking point" Great piece by @HannanRuth - looking forward to seeing more of @caref_ll's work on "what a new, care-centred future might look like" carefulleconomy.co.uk/2024/04/04/a-w…
Carers allowance is now £81.90 a week Eligibility rules are complex and designed to make you fail. It’s no wonder carers fall foul of them. Add to which DWP are not flagging quickly enough individuals who earn over earning threshold, then prosecuting them, it’s unforgivable

@guardian My @guardian explainer: who are unpaid carers and why are so many having to repay thousands of pounds for minor breaches of carer's allowance rules? theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
We pulled some thoughts together following our @BBCBreakfast appearance on why we need to go from piecemeal legislation to public services fit for the 21st century. carefulleconomy.co.uk/2024/04/04/a-w…

This doesn’t surprise me - Carer’s Allowance is uniquely complicated and very little attention is paid to it. We need to start to think big about what a caring welfare state looks like. Something @caref_ll have (conveniently) written about this week.. carefulleconomy.co.uk/2024/04/04/a-w…

A bit behind the scenes from @HannanRuth after appearing on the BBC this morning - care is just one of the things in our lives that comes with lots of preconceptions, and communicating ambition that things can be different from that starting point is part of the work.

We’re very excited that Care Full will be on the @BBCBreakfast sofa tomorrow! Our very own @HannanRuth will be sharing thoughts on new legislation entitling carers to six days unpaid leave from work. Tune in at 8.15 to catch us exploring what this means & whether it’s enough!
Rly great interview - and of course I’m drawn to how @daliagebrial reflects on care in this context. This in particular is v compelling on the cycles of insecurity that are set in motion when we devalue caring relationships for the demands of (perceived??) economic productivity.

Like others this article resonates. It goes beyond a care system or even a health system. We’ve created a socio-economic model that literally doesn’t care. Things have to change. Kate Garraway may be the most famous but she’s not the only one dealing with this.

Like all those who care, this article by @kategarraway will be deeply & sadly familiar. The need for a different socio-economic model was never clearer than 8000 carers wrote to her asking her not to stop campaigning. This goes beyond a simple “care system”

A year ago today, after a short and unexpected illness, my friend Adam died. An absolute giant of a man, who had no business dying as young as he did. It’s odd to describe death as being “out of character”, but the man was so vividly alive he almost had an air of immortality
Rob and I went on our first date exactly 10 years ago today. I miss him every single day and I know I’ll continue to miss him until my dying one. Lucky to have had the limited time we had together ♥️
got a boost in newsletter subscribers which will help me pay bills that I've been stressing out about, got some encouraging news from my literary agent, and despite the fact that I miss Rob so much right now and wish I could share all this news with him, i'm feeling hesitantly
Time flies! @Cmmonwealth launched five years ago today 🎂 Thanks to our supporters + the wonderful team who have built CW together, it has been quite a journey. Proud of what we've achieved, excited by what is to come. Here's a preview of upcoming work. common-wealth.org/perspectives/t…
They don’t contribute to the ‘social care system’. Why say this? They contribute to their families & communities most often filling the gap left by our woefully under resourced & badly organised ‘social care system’.
Unpaid carers contribute the equivalent of 4 million paid care workers to the social care system. But who is classed as an unpaid carer? What kind of support do they can and are they able to access it? We explore these questions in our report ➡️ kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…
Rishis assault on…ppl that use the NHS rather than putting money into care of any kind is SO Tory and the idea that you can individually demonise anyone using the systems designed to support you is sinister + we should be angry about it - then let it energise us into action
And this is why it remains such a tactical framing error to repeatedly say unpaid carers 'save' the State £billions or that they are the 'bedrock' of the 'social care system'. They are people being abandoned and exploited at huge personal cost. It's nothing to celebrate.
Unpaid carers are not ‘unsung heroes’ or ‘volunteers’, as the Government likes to call them. They are neglected, exhausted, human beings who are being exploited. Rachel nails it! Well worth a read.
"The words that spring to mind on this are: ‘cruel’ ‘incompetence’ and ‘borderline entrapment’. Not sure that’s a brand image you should be aiming for": open letter to the DWP about the carer's allowance scandal, from carer and blogger @Corner_Eighteen numbereighteeninthecorner.blog/2024/04/18/ope…
Scan results are in… Sooner than expected as they had to defer yesterday’s treatment. More progression in my liver. That’s the 4th chemo in a row that hasn’t worked. I will find out the new plan next week… Whatever that will be?! 😭
Great to be at the launch of @oxfamgb’s report launch focusing on carer poverty
Great to hear Katy @WeAreCarers calling for substantial economic system change: UBI, 4 Day Week and an overhaul of the social security system to help address cater poverty.
May I recommend that if you are a person, funder, or policy professional, who cares about care, you give @caref_ll a follow, a new org gearing up to intervene and make change, led by 2 people who understand care firsthand which is vital for good policymaking.
"the world now does not enable us to care for ourselves – let alone one another – without reaching breaking point" Great piece by @HannanRuth - looking forward to seeing more of @caref_ll's work on "what a new, care-centred future might look like" carefulleconomy.co.uk/2024/04/04/a-w…
Thing is, it doesn't even *sound* progressive to "encourage people to work as much as they can". That's an issue that mainstream commentary never touches, and yet it's the hinge upon which the cruel system turns. "Smooth all you want, but don't touch the imperative to work".
Also highlights a crucial design flaw in Carers Allowance. There's no taper. You can earn £151 a week. If you earn £1 more you lose *it all*. Other benefits have a taper to encourage people to work as much as they can. Not Carer's Allowance. That's crazy. It can & should be fixed
We pulled some thoughts together following our @BBCBreakfast appearance on why we need to go from piecemeal legislation to public services fit for the 21st century. carefulleconomy.co.uk/2024/04/04/a-w…
We landed on the @BBCBreakfast sofa this morning to talk about the scale of change needed to centre care in our economy. Watch our co-founder @HannanRuth explain why new unpaid leave for carers coming into play today just isn't enough.
Hi everyone. It’s Shannon-Jason’s spouse aka Mrs. Canuck. I wanted to share the news of his passing here as it was such a major part of his journey. Jason passed away Friday, April 5th peacefully with his Dad and I by his side. Jason was an amazing human and I feel so grateful…
What an exciting TV morning for little old me and a *pleasure* to meet @HannanRuth Thanks to @BBCNews @BBCBreakfast @CarersUK @caref_ll @TVNaga01 Hope this helps keep a conversation going on the need to support #unpaidcarers @WillowKaty @WeAreCarers
Wonderful to hear and see @LJB87 and @HannanRuth telling it like it is this am on @BBCBreakfast We need bigger reforms. #UnpaidCarersLeave
How amazing - I never watch morning TV - so how delightful - when visiting my son to turn on the telly and there’s @HannanRuth - talking sense about #care - as she says - the welfare state needs to be redesigned around care.
