@WeAreOpenreach replies to your *7770 number aren’t sending. How can I say ‘yes’ a different way?

The Nazis, too, encouraged people to calculate the cost of keeping disabled people alive. School children were set exercises in estimating the economic cost of 'useless eaters'.

This is a dark day, @Telegraph, and you should be ashamed.

@TraceyG87132334 Oh Tracey! What deeply sad news. I’m so sorry. Huge love to you. To you all.

CAMHS routinely deny treatment to children with mental health issues because they are autistic. Suicidal, self harming autistic children are being left to suffer. It is dangerous. It is senseless. It is discrimination. Please sign

@neilmcrowther It’s when the people, and their representatives, who will use the ‘service’ being designed, are part of the design team - alongside all other stakeholders. So that it has the best chance of working for everyone - especially the people the service is for.

[Neil Crowther @neilmcrowther]

The NHS asks 'what's the matter with you?' and then tries to fix it.

Good social care asks 'what matters to you?' and then works alongside us to be and do those things.

To be valuable, the integration of health & social care will elevate the second question above the first.

#GoodLives at Learning Disability England’s conference - finding out about how the history of learning disability was once written by medics, but now people with lived experience are taking charge of their history by research and through activist historian work. 💪

[Kate Chate @katechate]

Excited to be on the way to the #GoodLives conference today. Can’t wait to hear what everyone’s been up to.

“You’re Making It Worse”
@naomicfisher

When a child is struggling at school and become reluctant to attend, their parents are given advice.  Most of it is about how to ignore their child’s distress.  1/

Does anyone remember a time when the DWP Christmas ‘Bonus’ was anything other than £10? We are 20 years in and I can’t…

@robdelaney Thank you. Just heard your Radio 4 book serialisation. (It’s beautiful) As another parent working to get a son’s needs met - you are my hero for speaking up about the battles we are forced to enter into. Thank you

[Stephen Unwin @RoseUnwin]

Parents of disabled children and young people are constantly urged not make a fuss. But we know that the only way to achieve anything is to do so. Just one part of what’s so wrong with the system.
