THIS! I see this so much in claims that nobody has considered a topic despite the decades of advocacy from survivors, disabled people and mad people on that topic. Just because researchers have ignored something doesn't mean it's new to those with lived experience in

Really interesting roundtable today on learning disability nursing in social care. We explored how to raise awareness, demonstrate impact, and take action. Grateful for the breadth of insight from colleagues across the sector. #LDNursing #SocialCare

The Independent Care Review concluded that Scotland must strive to become a nation that does not restrain its children. As it does so, changes must take place to support the workforce and ensure that all instances of restraint are properly recorded and monitored. (🧵1/3)
