Good social care not only improves lives; it provides jobs, contributing £57bn annually to our economy. Attracting more people to work and stay in social care - by improving pay and conditions - offers an important opportunity to improve care & support AND boost our economy.

All relationship based, underpined by trust & mutual respect. 👇🏼 – at Hull, England
Leading across a system requires a massive & ongoing commitment to the practice of collaboration. A new report from @TheKingsFund sets out six areas of practice for effective collaborative leadership:
1) create a safe, inclusive & trusting environment
2) build & maintain healthy relationships
3) create a shared purpose
4) manage power dynamics
5) surface and manage conflict
6) promote shared decision-making

This is very disappointing & it could have been a great opportunity to create shared priorities & value across our professions – at Swindon, England
