https://t.co/vIuaz6ezlV I share this though written a few weeks ago. Last night, I was reminded how rare it is for individuals in care homes to be listened and supported in what matters to them. We can help staff and families find that connection important to the individuals.

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/N9eHQ2mrAM

@Justacarehomeg1@NACASUK Yes, I am with you there. Which is why I found the book, "Travellers to unimaginable lands" so helpful. It is much harder to be the carer you are professionally when you have a personal investment.
Every single school should have a library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers & give them all the benefits of literacy! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay

My question to the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt clearly exposed that Government are fuelling the #NHSStrike because they set the pay remit for the NHS Pay Review Body, and are unwilling to talk to the unions to resolve this dispute. This is totally irresponsible.
@_mark_topps@Helen_Whately@SteveBarclay@rightsforresid2@Relresuk@JohnCampaign They are breaching human rights, care act and the mental capacity act. We can change the narrative with a better understanding and application of the legislation. Sign post them to training - which has the power to transform lives.
