Sharing experiences of co-production and co-creation is vital for building a better future for people who draw on care and support. We came together with others from across Europe at @ESNsocial's European Social Services Conference in Antwerp to share our learning across borders!

Great to talk digital technology, health & care when @JenniferPearl16 attended @thekingsfund conference. Interesting insight into NHS app, virtual wards, AI and @wesstreeting's innovation plans. #CoProduction with people who draw on care and support is key to this working well.

The #ASCWorkforceStrategy represents a pivotal moment for social care, filled with hope and potential. We'll work with @skillsforcare to bring these recommendations to life. Together, we can ensure a workforce that embodies the values people seek and that is appropriately valued.

Let's talk about acronyms. ISF, SDS, ASC, SEN, PWLE, QAF... the list goes on. These acronyms fill social care, but they often exclude people. Clear language builds trust, understanding, and inclusivity. Let's challenge their use and embrace more human language #LanguageMatters

“Making It Real spoke our language,” says @KarynatKeyRing. “It didn’t have airs and graces, and it really put people at the centre of knowing whether support is right for them.”

It's #CoProWeek and @clentonF is asking us all to co-produce in a way that's mindful of equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Are you in?

Let’s work together to make sure every voice is heard and valued in adult social care. https://t.co/zggRJBwasA
