We know that council tax is a bad way of funding adult #socialcare because it raises less money in areas with highest demand for publicly-funded care. But here’s another reason from @resfoundation - council tax puts more of a burden on low income families than wealthier ones. 1/3

Generative AI can play a role in improving care and support, but it must be implemented with people at the centre of decision-making.

How do we ensure that our actions are truly inclusive❓
How can we move from performative to sustainable action❓

From the window with the trace of sunset
Today I learned about a term called a 'glimmer.’ Which is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.

A slide outlining Think Local Act Personal guidance on coproduction and EDI
Thanks Think Local Act Personal for a thought provoking session on some tips to make coproduction more inclusive, diverse and equitable. If it’s not hard you aren’t doing it right. Great examples from the fab Lisa in Greenwich who are leading by example #NCASC

The way health and social care works can make it hard for people to live the life they want.
We work to create care and support that’s personalised to people’s unique lives.
We think you share our mission: better lives for more people, shaped by what matters to them. Together, let's make it real.
A personal view on the “long good bye”. A thread 🧵
1/ The Alzheimer's Society is rerunning the controversial "long goodbye" campaign, despite complaints and distress caused. The only change seems to be details about their dementia support services at the end.
Hi Bluesky! We're Think Local Act Personal and we believe that everyone should have the care and support they need to live life their way.
We work in lots of different ways to make change happen, with the experiences of people who draw on care and support at the heart of everything we do 💜.
