Email got bounced back saying to use the website. Which is useless. Phone number is a recorded message which sends you to the website. Which as I said is useless

The #PeoplesPanel are not resting on their laurels after the hard work last year... Today they return to see how people with real-life experience of social care are now working together to come up with #IdeasForChange to address the issues identified by the Panel 💪

[Engage Britain @EngageBritain]

The #PeoplesPanel are back! 🙌 Tomorrow they'll re-group around the progress made so far finding #IdeasForChange addressing the health & care priorities identified by the Panel.

Here's where we left off last year 👇

The amount of social workers working in the evenings after long draining days of supporting families really worries me. There is already a shortage of social workers and experienced social workers due to the demands of the job. It shouldn’t be an unspoken requisite of the role.

[Gemma Mcdonald @GemmaVMcd]

@KaneDDodgson @tonymckcopro @EngageBritain Oh wow, I hadn't realised my connection had landed. @KaneDDodgson how marvelous to have you involved.
