Agreed Dan Barnard Johnny Mercer you have done so much and shouted so loud for our veteran community. I don’t do politics and can see that you wore your heart on your sleeve and gave everything you could for many, thank you. Much needed time with your family now.

The amazing @JukesyJo presented to the FAVORUK 💜 recovery conf this morning via video. What a fantastic way to set the scene and tone for today. It is through people like Jo telling us about her family tragedy and what needed to be different to change the course, give us hope.

Day two at @ncasc22. The theme of this year is definitely Co-production and the importance of having lived experience embedded through everything social care. To be inspired is to then inspire others.

Completely agree Tom, as someone who has supported these services nationally, I can honestly say the service, as it is now, which will take time to flourish, is amazing. There are so many passionate people trying to make a real difference, and they are. Influence positive change

I don’t know why people feel they have the right to be offensive to others os it easy on SM? No matter who you are, how well grounded you are, it can and will affect you. I encourage us all to call out anyone who is abusive or offensive to others on SM, positivity will win out

Ready for two days at the TSA (TEC Services Association) Tech conference at the ICC Birmingham. Looking forward to learning more about Tech solutions within the Adult Care arena and how I can take that learning back to Newcastle City Council Adult Social Care and Integrated Services directorate.

And so the day continues. After a packed morning and afternoon listening to and engaging with sessions discussing how to move forwards with digital solutions to support those who use our services, it’s time for the TSA (TEC Services Association) Gala and awards. Everyone looks extremely smart.
