If you’re waking to news of the commission on #socialcare your first instinct may be to head back under the covers. What, another one? Really? But there are genuine reasons to support it, along with a some concerns, particularly on the timing. Shortish thread.

Great to hear @socialcarefuture.bsky.social Convenor, Anna Severwright on Radio 5 earlier (1hr 56 30) discussing the new independent #SocialCare commission to be led by Baroness Louise Casey www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"While long-term change with cross-party agreement is essential, it should not delay immediate action that could benefit people and our social care workforce now." Our reaction to the commission on social care is in Learning Disability Today ⬇️ www.learningdisabilitytoday.co.uk/news/governm...
