Next week: Integration & Collaboration
#CareCreates
Some good tips from @drdmacaskill.bsky.social on where social care belongs, not downstream, but upstream (🧵)
• Preventing falls is not primarily about a poster campaign. It is about home adaptations, strength and balance support, medication prompts, and time enough for a worker to notice a change.
There are very real practical asks of candidates in the upcoming election. Here are some of our #humanrights asks in our @scottishcare.bsky.social #manifesto. #CareCreates #ScotParl #ScotElection - what do our parties say ?

Today in #CareCreates, we're looking at rights in numbers.
1 in 23 people in Scotland receive social care support. Social care reaches every community, every day.
#CareCreates
Scotland has 328,600 more people aged 50+ since 2011.
Demand is rising - so is the need for rights‑based support.
#CareCreates
Over 74,000 adults rely on the independent sector for care and support.
Behind every number is choice, dignity and connection.
#CareCreates
These numbers show why Care Creates… dignity, independence and connection for people and communities across Scotland.

#CareCreates
Human rights are at the heart of good care.
As Scottish Care Executive, Kirsty Cartin (Rashielee Care Home) reminds us, rights show up in everyday choices - dignity, fairness, independence & feeling safe.
We may all need care at some point - and we all have human rights.
#CareCreates
Human rights aren’t just policy - they’re a promise.
Scottish Care Executive Member, Carol‑Anne Foote (Meallmore) reminds us that dignity, choice & lived experience must shape every part of social care.
Care should honour who people are - not just what they need.
#CareCreates
Scottish Care Executive Member, Annette Wilson (Call‑In Homecare) reminds us that care shaped around what matters to a person creates confidence, independence and real human connection.
Compassionate leadership. Courage to challenge. A rights‑based Scotland.

#CareCreates
We are proud to be supporting Care Creates - a campaign led by Scottish Care inviting Scotland to see adult social care support not as a cost, but as an essential investment in our national wellbeing, economy and future.
I'm looking forward to seeing this hugely important campaign unfold over the coming weeks.
"anyone who has walked the hallways of a care home at dawn, listened to the quiet courage of unpaid carers, or stood beside frontline staff carrying hope into other people’s lives knows a different truth."
