Big focus on care workforce but also “we must listen to the voices of people who draw on support”
We need smooth transitions from children to adult support with no cliff edges- will be meeting children’s counterpart to discuss this.

#BuildNotBreak I had the privilege of hearing Salam tell her story at the House of Lords. Completely blown away by her strength, her humour & story telling. Never have I heard or been witness to such honouring of lived truths. We’ve still much to learn. #ThankYou @familyrightsgp.bsky.social #frg
