Yes! Social care has been underfunded for long enough - our system urgently needs ring-fenced funding & reform. The first NI Citizens' Assembly made several recommendations for adult social care reform 👉 https://t.co/yTVE28yuLj @CA4NI

[Alexandra Chapman @Alexandra3C]

Thanks @NorthernSlant for giving me the platform to discuss some issues in adult social care & the changes we need to see to ensure we can have a better social care system that can work for us all #socialcare

[Northern Slant @NorthernSlant]

"The pandemic has shone a very bright spotlight on the problems in social care."

In the latest article in our #Rethinking series, Dr Alexandra Chapman @Alexandra3C looks at adult social care. https://t.co/vPBQHCxqN8

"The UK should aspire to lead the world in innovations in democracy, using the tools of deliberative democracy, participatory budgeting, citizen assemblies & others, to create the plural public square we need"

Gr8 to see this in @danny__kruger's report 👇

“... we need institutions like citizens’ assemblies, and a politics of mutual respect that can focus on insights and evidence to fit people together rather than pull them apart.”

Problems that are complex, values-based, long-term are best suited to citizen problem-solving, says participatory democracy expert @ClaudiaChwalisz.

Meaning: Trust your citizens + hold more deliberative processes on issues of justice, culture, and structural reform. #delibwave

[involve @involveUK]

This new @theRSAorg report - "Reimagining the future of health and social care" - calls for @DHSCgovuk to establish a People's Health and Social Care Commission

[Citizens’ Assembly for Northern Ireland @CA4NI]

This is revealing of low trust in the public’s ability to handle complex information and highlights the need for more deliberative opportunities for people to have a say in how crises are handled.
