Older people are too often spoken about rather than listened to. In this second Hidden Voices event, End Social Care Disgrace brings together experts, campaigners and people with lived experience to explore the challenges facing older people and how we can build a society that values dignity, independence and high-quality social care. In this discussion you'll hear from: Neil Duncan Jordan MP Labour MP for Poole, member of the APPG for Older People and former UNISON Regional Officer. Professor Alisoun Milne Emeritus Professor in Social Gerontology and Social Work at the University of Kent, discussing "The Neo-liberal Market and Harms to Older People." Marianne Lynch Sharing her family's experience of fighting to secure care and support for her father. Gordon Peters Former Director of Social Care, speaking about self-organising around mild cognitive impairment. Councillor David Jenkins Chair of the Leeds Age Friendly Board, exploring what it means to build truly age-friendly communities. Throughout this conversation we explore: The realities facing older people in today's social care system. The impact of market-led care on people's lives. Living with cognitive impairment. The experiences of unpaid carers and families. How communities can become more age-friendly. Why older people's voices must be central to future social care reform. Thank you to everyone who joined us live and to our fantastic speakers for sharing their expertise and lived experience.

Public service doesn’t mean you’re never allowed downtime. Andy Burnham spends an evening with his mate raising money for Stand Up To Cancer and people lose their minds. I hope anyone who applauded Farage or Dorries going into the jungle applies the same standard.

Thank for starting with the accessibility Hels. however bouncing captions and videos zooming in and out are no more accessible then leaving them out, perhaps you might take a lesson in digital accessibility.

This weapon is a member of the commons health committee and wants to cut benefits, where does he think that leaves people, pushed into other extremely overwhelmed other services. Perhaps check your brief before you spout your Leader's nonsense, imagine people believing he has them in mind over health....
