Over 1.5 billion people worldwide have hearing loss. I would encourage you to read this excellent article in the FT about the experiences of four deaf individuals. https://t.co/XqKUyIp4lM

Today, I have talked to two people, who were unaware of how their smart phones could help them. Try settings and accessibility and see what helps you. https://t.co/qVhcSE5hNw

@N_Wilson94 Yes, bringing in animals, children and plants all play magic. Strongly recommend reading " Being Mortal", where a story of 100 parrots brought so much joy and excitement to residents. A shared purpose did wonders.

This article brings to life the horror of the abuse being experienced by autistic people and people with learning disabilities in inappropriate institutions.

The Government and the NHS must stop choosing to ignore this scandal.

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

Many thousands of disabled people are likely to lose their right to vote because of the government’s decision to require voters in England to show photographic identification at polling stations, MPs have been told.

So what are the #CQC doing about this? #GloriasLaw #rightsforresidents
Care home where staff were filmed abusing 88-year-old is still breaking rules https://t.co/SKtU2WWHWi

[Rachel Barber 💚 @RachelB63364142]

@AnnJillings This is a breach of the Equality Act. The venue are responsible for finding solutions that work for him.

[Unlock Care Homes @CareUnlock]

And no doubt the result wld be the same if the @guardian were to commission a survey into public trust in the ability of the CQC to protect care home residents & hold care providers accountable for abuse, neglect & poor standards of care. Trust is broken..

@DaviesAnne Enjoy the session. I am sure delegates go away inspired by your welcome and expertise.

[Baroness Keeley of Worsley (also on BlueSky) @KeeleyMP]

I used a debate in Parliament to question the Government about the abuse of autistic people & people with learning disabilities in inpatient settings.

https://t.co/svutaKNoHE This book is a must read for professionals and family members caring for individuals living with dementia.

[Mithran Samuel @mithransamuel]

So, as you may have heard, the implementation of the Liberty Protection Safeguards is being delayed beyond the lifetime of this Parliament. @CCInform1 legal editor has summarised the implications here but here's a bit of a timeline of how we go here: 🧵 https://t.co/9kuB6e9RMp

[Living4Moments 💚 @_Living4Moments]

Did you know that individuals living with learning disability are much less likely to have their hearing checked. This is why we have launched a new course to address the negative impact of isolation caused by undiagnosed hearing loss. https://t.co/UahkiOxEI0

[mentalcapacitycat @thecapacitycat]

LPS implementation will be “delayed beyond the life of this parliament” @DHSCgovuk

I have recently re- read "Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande. This book was important when I first read it in 2016 when the ideas influenced the way I worked in care. As a facilitator, I gained further insights some of which has been shared in my blog. https://t.co/pMbDO92jkH
