Was delighted to join fellow Commissioners at a meeting of the UK Commission on Bereavement this morning to share updates from across the UK. A lot of progress but still much to still do to make #bereavement everybody’s business. Thanks to BishopSarah for chairing.

Thinking of all the thousands of dedicated staff who will despite #StormÉowyn be out today delivering necessary care and support to people in their own homes or in #carehomes. Thank you for your professionalism. Keep safe. #homecare #socialcare #careaboutcare.

A great blog by Donald Macaskill - #socialcare is #SocialJustice and right now, it is revealing the harsh truth of the priorities in our politics. #careaboutcare

Lighting tonight’s #candleforcare in recognition that #socialjustice cannot be achieved in Scotland without a focus on the centrality of #socialcare. #SocialJusticeDay2025

This new research on the #carecrisis in Scotland from Scottish Care is deeply concerning. #Carehomes at risk of closing, people desperate to move in, lots of space but no money to pay for them from local and national government. Scottish Government

“We’ve never really valued care or carers. We don’t treat family carers properly and don’t give them support when they’re struggling, and we don’t value care workers.” Thank you Ed Davey for raising the social care crisis in this powerful interview youtube.com/watch?v=aI6yyl…

This week’s blog is a reflection on the failure of both Scottish Government and GOV.UK to prioritise #socialcare and what it means for those who use #care and #support services. Failing to properly resource care is a failure of #dignity. #ProvidersUnite scottishcare.org/a-betrayal-of-…

Today we march with #ProvidersUnite because social care matters. We’re standing together for fair funding, a valued workforce, + a system that works for those who receive care & those who provide it. It’s time for real action and real change. Care isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Great day with SSSC & NES Leading 2 Change discussing supervision. Good to hear my experience inspired or resonated with those present. I left with questions for my development of effective supervision practice - how to record meaningfully & how to ensure staff feel the benefit.
