If you didnโt catch this on Channel 4 last week itโs definitely worth a watch. Recruiting #SharedLives carers now across #Norfolk and #Suffolk #psssharedlives @suffolkcc @NorfolkCC
The great news: people with learning disabilities are living longer than ever.
But here's the question: how can the #care industry meet people's changing needs?
PSS came up with the answer in 1978.
It's called #SharedLives and @Channel4News spoke about it last night๐

With PSS Shared Lives, you can support an older teenager who is being forced to leave the foster care system after their 18th birthday, just like any of the teens featured in last night's @bbcone documentary, Joe Swash: #TeensInCare. Find out how sharedlivescarers.com/ #JoeSwash

Today is the start of Learning Disability Awareness Week!
This week weโll be challenging misconceptions and showing how living with a learning disability doesnโt mean youโre not able to live life to the fullest.
#LearningDisabilityAwarenessWeek
Love working alongside Sam in #Norfolk #SharedLives
Sam is one of 155 panel #volunteers who give their timeย to help us find more amazing #SharedLives carers. Our panel volunteers help us find the best carers for adults in their community. Itโs thanks to their help that we've got so many people living their best life. Thank you Sam
