Important work from @CarersNI as part of the @ImpAdultCare Networks
Two of the carers involved in our @ImpAdultCare network told us about their experiences of providing unpaid carer to family members in a rural community in Northern Ireland.
Listen to their stories ⬇️

Last year, @ImpAdultCare worked with @arcnidirector, @arcni and other key stakeholders to explore how managed budgets could move from policy to practice. This role is a great opportunity to take things forward.
If an IT system can be configured to alert DWP, it could have been configured to alert carers too. But that wasn't a priority in the design for some reason.
🚨”One of the causes for this scandalous miscarriage is that the DWP's own IT system was able to flag when the earnings threshold was breached, but they failed to alert the carers that they were now in a perilous situation & could end up owing thousands.⤵️ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68774399

Really interesting piece by @duncdos @RachelKelso12
'The homecare setting is crucial, with these disparate workers often lacking a space where they can come together to support each other through their working lives and to advocate for policy change.'
