#CarersRightsDay2020 Carers have the right to a carers assessment that includes planning for emergencies. But emergency planning often lacks detail. Look at Thinking Ahead guidance & template to help make detailed plan togethermatters.org.uk/makin… @EssexCarers @OxFSN @MacFamilies

So proud that @OxFSN are partners in this vital research project. Such a fab legacy for our @comicrelief funded Embolden project
GrowingOlderPlanningAhead (@OlderAhead) profile pictureGrowingOlderPlanningAhead@OlderAhead5 Oct 2020
This is a new research project account for Growing Older Planning Ahead #OlderAhead. We're looking at improving support for older people with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge, family and professional carers, and supporting end of life care planning for carers.
Top image shows two people sat on a bench and text saying 'We want to improve care and support for older people with learning disabilities. Improve planning for when carers get older'. Image underneath is of a ring binder 'My plan' with a photo of a person on the front and text saying 'Help family carers think about their end of life care planning'

Last year we found that the human rights of young people who are autistic &/or have learning disabilities in detention were being abused. Now without inspections and family visits, risks to them have increased. Read our new report out today👇committees.parliament.uk/com… @HarrietHarman

Typically excellent thread from @CaptainK77 on key new guidance for #SEND in the current crisis - tho guidance assumes #CoronaVirusBill goes through unamended which may not be the case

The #CoronaVirusBill will suspend the duties to continue to provide children’s services to disabled young people in transition to adulthood if their adult package isn’t ready. Why reinstate the ‘cliff edge’ at 18 that campaigners fought so hard to remove?
