Really fascinating case study about how smart water meters have been used in Andalusia to respond to potential falls. AI is learning usage patterns and flagging when an older person might be in trouble. #essc2023

Fantastic to hear Becky Wilkinson and Wolverhampton Council's story of pivoting from being a trailblazer and moving forward with change.

Becky Wilkinson (@WolvesCouncil) on the importance of setting a local ambition in our workshop at @1adass Spring Seminar:

“Every area is different, we’re all starting from different points…there is no government model that fixes everything for everybody”

A great blog by my colleague Libby on #SEND bias. Definitely worth a read.

[IMPOWER Consulting @IMPOWERconsult]

IMPOWER's Libby Caulfield on #SEND bias, and the challenges created by stereotyping.

Examples from @LincolnshireCC & @LPCForum reinforce the need to shift from 'unconscious' to 'cognitive' #bias https://t.co/B6hg5p3Got
