Delighted to be at the Kent Research Partnership celebration event today, talking about the importance of good quality Research in social care! @ncfcareforum.bsky.social

@ncfcareforum.bsky.social and our lovely members, MHA, are on our way to the #ProvidersUnite Day of Action. The unfunded employer NI rises will do real damage to care providers, their staff & the people they support. The govt must do more mitigate this.

Fascinating start to the @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social Hospital to Home event. Sarah Reed shares key lessons from comparable countries:put your money where your policy aim is, long term plans need true long term commitment & failure to reform social care will undermine all other efforts.#hospitaltohome

Big thanks to @localgovernment.bsky.social for this joint letter. @ncfcareforum.bsky.social are one of over 100 organisations to have signed this public statement from the LGA calling for Govt to work with the sector to mitigate the pressures on councils, providers and charities.
