There's a basic fact in this piece that can't be repeated enough: locking up people in long-term, secure, clinical and intense inpatient 'care' can be traumatic and makes them feel worse, not better. #LearningDisability #autism #socialcare

“If you are not disabled and you regularly go to a yoga class, a book group or just the pub, when was the last time you did so with even a single disabled adult present?” Thanks to @johnharris1969.bsky.social for being one of the rare columnists to ask these Qs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨 BREAKING: We are delighted to share that our client @ellenclifford.bsky.social has won her case against the DWP over an unlawful consultation held on reforms tightening the #WorkCapabilityAssessment. These reforms would lead to over 400,000 people being worse off by at least £416 a month.

Shocking: 100s of pages of evidence about the reality of ‘corridor care’ in hospitals. It blames ‘obvious and avoidable failure to reform the NHS and #socialcare’. Solutions must surely include approaches to prevent people needing A&E in the first place. www.rcn.org.uk/Professional...

This is a big, welcome deal - even the 'your' (as in 'your mum' rather than just the uniform and awful 'mum').

"There is no solution to the crisis in the NHS that doesn’t include a solution for social care." Dismayed to see Wes Streeting acknowledge this - yet kick the issue into long grass with a commission that won't report until 2028. What hope for the NHS now? What hope for those needing care now?

Since 1997 there have been no less than 25 commissions, select committee inquiries & white papers on social care. Labour - who admit social care is in crisis, & that the NHS cannot be fixed without it - just responded by... ... announcing the 26th one 😳

1/4 thread Big deja vu on #SocialCare commission news. My mind's full of dusty white/green papers and names from Griffiths to Dilnot. Can't recall which said 'doing nothing's not an option', all of them? And 3yrs: 3yrs too long. But I need to hope it'll be different and a govt will grasp - then act.

Only 136 out of 10,000 tribunals for special needs support 'won' by councils in England in 2022-23. Is forcing parents to go to tribunal a deliberate tactic by councils to delay funding for additional support needs? 1/2 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Eurgh typo but I blame fury at repeated failings. Why aren’t #LearningDisabled people treated as fully human? David died from natural causes contributed to by neglect Why no chest exam? Why no NEWS escalation? Why no admission to ICU #DeathByIndifference #DiagnosticOvershadowing #OpenJustice

If you think disabled people, especially those with learning difficulties get the same treatment as anyone else in the U.K., you’re wrong. Imagine how a young person can starve to death in a hospital.
