So the Archbishop of Canterbury is talking about *drawing on* care and support. My work is done @socfuture @AnnaSeverwright @EquallyOurs #FrameOn #AnEqualLife #ReimaginingCare
Just a quick explainer here. When we (@socfuture) did our work to develop a new vision & narrative, we'd noted how social care was typically talked about as a place or destination e.g. 'people going into social care' socialcarefuture.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
If you listen to Ministers over the past month talk about hospital discharge, they're using this language again as they did during Covid. It also has the effect of positioning care as an end in itself, not as the means to others ends, and as something given or done to people.

1- After a busy day yesterday (real life meeting that exhausted me) I have now had a bit of time to look at the gov’s announcements for #SocialCare & the media coverage. I am not an economics expert but here are a few of my initial thoughts:
2- I was so disappointed that this was tied up with NHS funding & social care presented as a way to reduce workload on the NHS. Nothing about people’s QoL, being able to be an active citizen, or being able to have #AnEqualLife.
3- Of all the experts I saw on the TV or radio, no-one was speaking as an expert with lived experience. Why in social care are journalists not able to get authentic voices on, not just to tell their story, but to offer their opinions & solutions?
