This @TheIFS analysis suggests the local govt settlement is better for councils - and potentially therefore #socialcare - than it at first appears. A new ‘green’ grant lifts the increase in council total spending power to 5.5% in real terms. 1/3 ifs.org.uk/articles/202...

1/ TLAP, with partners, has long advocated for events about social care to include people who draw on that care and support as equal participants. This means better access to funded places and participation, as well as equal status on the platforms others can take for granted.

Life. We only get to live it once. So shouldn't we all have the opportunity to live it our way? Good care and support can make this happen. But often, people tell us it's not working as it should. This makes it difficult for them to live the life they want. That's where Making It Real comes in...

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.
