I have spent the last few days in Cumbria as part of my introduction to all things @ @walsinghamuk. It’s been lovely to spend time with the people we support and colleagues. I have a lot to learn but am lucky to have @LongleyCook and @PaulSnell1 alongside me.

At such a difficult time it is so uplifting to hear the @amnesty carol singers in our street again here in Salisbury at Christmas time. So beautiful. And a reminder not to forget human rights around the world.

Whilst fully acknowledging those who have been directly impacted, I wonder if our response to COVID-19 and lockdown rules could be remote miss syndrome? ‘remotehttps://thomlangford.com/2015/05/27/direct-hit-near-miss-or-remote-miss-why-you-are-more-confident-than-you-should-be/

So the latest info direct from No10 identifies Person A - the trigger for household isolation - as female? Why?!! Is it acknowledgement that carers are most at risk - and most carers are female (odd way of doing it). Or are we way back to Eve tempting Adam so it’s all her fault?

As we prepare to leave the EU, it’s good to see that I friends in Europe continue to promote novel ways of getting to the U.K.

I wonder if ‘Taking back control’ will mean we get all the KiKat flavours? Would make the last three years worthwhile🤡
The @amnesty carol singers arrive outside our house in Marlborough Rd. Every year this amazing and talented group herald the arrival of the festive season. And for such a critical cause in the world today. Happy Christmas!

Privileged to have the opportunity for ‘active meditation’ while walking the Southdown’s Way with Flora. In such a frantic world, having a moment for mindfulness and reflection definitely recharges the spirit and puts things in their true perspective.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported the launch of @Hftonline & @TunstallHealth’s proposal for an #LDSectorDeal today. We hope that this kick-starts a partnership between government and industry that leads to the investment our sector so urgently needs

Hft and Tunstall have produced our Sector Deal proposal document in partnership. It is our hope that the sector will support our recommendations and help build support for an #LDSectorDeal for the #learningdisability sector. hft.org.uk/get-involved/camp…
By granting an #LDSectorDeal, the government could help to stimulate investment & innovation, bringing financial stability to providers, and ultimately helping deliver the outstanding person-centred support that adults with #learningdisabilities deserve hft.org.uk/blog/sector-deal-…

I’m pleased to be at the @UKHouseofLords with @TunstallHealth today to present our vision of an #LDSectorDeal – one which would encourage closer collaboration between #assistivetechnology companies & #socialcare providers, and improve outcomes for those supported by the sector.
