The whole "childless cat ladies" thing is obviously cliched and shit and offensive to women without children. But also, completely misunderstands how fucking great it is to own cats.

@Arteymas_ Caroline Poole was 2 years above me at school but her gran lived next to mine and she taught me those moves in 1980 ...and some of her coolness rubbed off 🙏🏻

[Dementia UK @DementiaUK]

Next week join @viclyons @RadioAndrewE @drain_diane and @jomonurse live on Twitter for our rescheduled event to discuss what dying might look like and what dying well might mean for people living with #dementia and their families.

Listen here: https://t.co/tdqVh1HDWk

[Helen Ferguson @Helen__Ferguson]

Totally agree with this and having worked in both sectors see the crossovers #DementiaActionWeek

[PCPLD Network @PCPLDnetwork]

When commissioning learning disability services, consider dementia - Think about the importance of the environment – ‘dementia friendly’ environments are
often ‘learning disability friendly’ too.

@AvantiWestCoast Done ✅ he's probably just doing his job, but it was so unexpectedly calm and helpful - that it was a real help!

Is it ok to just love #Bogdan being the best #dementiafriend ever to Stephen?!? @livingwelldying @alzheimerssoc have you read #CoopersChaseNovels 💓@richardosman 🙏🏻 Just be like Bogdan and walk alongside people living with dementia💓

[Supercharged Me @me_supercharged]

Do you have a learning disability? Do you have a child with a learning disability? Make sure you are signed up to the Learning Disability register. It means you can access extra support from your GP. Ask your GP for more information #GetSupercharged

#Oliverscampaign

Discrimination against Learning Disabled people from the caring profession is real. Often this discrimination is subconscious, we must self reflect & heal ourselves if we are to change culture. Thoughts??

[Helen Ferguson @Helen__Ferguson]

Our wonderful housing officers presented how to identify #selfneglect because #itmatters is @GoldenLaneHouse #safeguarding and we can all help our tenants to stay well

[Golden Lane Housing @GoldenLaneHouse]

We hosted information sessions for colleagues, launched our tenant Safeguarding Rep, 'Keeping tenants safe' video, and we've published our #easyread Safeguarding Assurance Report 21/22.
