This work is building on previous work, including that of the @OxFSN Embolden Project. You can hear from some family carers sharing their concerns for the future supporting a family member with a learning disability in Oxfordshire in this short film youtube.com/watch?v=AMvbrhA2…
Great blog by @oxfsn on how they are still able to support #familycarers who have a #familymember with a #learningdisability despite working from home
Read the latest blog by @OxFSN’s program manager @GailHanrahan about what ‘life in lockdown’ meant for the charity & how it responded to the needs of #familycarers during #CoVID whilst working remotely oxfsnblog.wordpress.com

Councils remain ready to use their experience and expertise to help contact and trace people who have tested positive for #COVID19 but were unable to be reached

Wow! After persistent poor care and hideous failures, the dismal @StAndrewsCare seems to be expanding to snare more people with autism and learning disabilities. Note how they claim it is patient-focused despite all the horror stories.

“It is unacceptable for advance care plans, with or without DNAR form completion, to be applied to groups of people of any description... These decisions must continue to be made on an individual basis according to need.”

There is need for emergency #COVID19 legislation but not to strip away hard-fought rights of people with autism, disabilities and mental health problems - my @theipaper column on the government's power grab

Today I raised in the Commons why we hadn't had a Statement from Health Sec @MattHancock on the @EHRC launching a legal challenge on why 2,200 autistic people & people with learning disabilities were trapped in in-patient units or on the Govt response to #LEDR review. No response

There has been a #crisisincare for decades. Countless warnings about ‘sticking plasters on gaping wounds’ but nothing has changed. It now needs life support & all that’s being offered is a paracetamol.
Thank you @MarkNeary1 for highlighting the obvious to those who spout banal words with no depth @MattHancock
Oh Matt. You've really shot your bolt now. Such a passive statement. You're in charge of all of this. And a gentle reminder - people living in their own homes aren't patients. Not everything is medical.
