We've caught our breath after #NCASC24. Thanks to all who joined our sessions, stopped for a chat, and shared ideas with us.
Getting together with likeminded passionate people is a reminder of why we're all here: to create social care that enables people to live life their way.
Some highlights:

My week consisted mostly of Children social care with a sprinkling of adults too.
#NCASC in Liverpool.
A couple Ministers of state, OFSTED top boss, loads of officers and of course lots of local councillors that all work hard to make people's lives better.

Causes for optimism from #NCASC24
- The platforming of those who draw on care and support
- Commitment to support young people to prepare for adulthood
- Focus on 'early action' as a way of investing to grow our places
- Recognition of the role that housing has in people living fulfilled lives

Just got back from the #NCASC24 (Social services conference). Great to hear hope & realism. Still looming workforce issues but more commitment to removing the companies who are profiteering from childhood trauma. Liverpool lovely as usual 🌹

Notable that the final keynote at social care’s big annual event #NCASC24 is @sallywarren.bsky.social talking about the 10 Year Health Plan. Reminder that health reform is happening while social care reform is not, yet.

A lovely moment at #NCASC24 yesterday. In a session on “managing demand” Anna Severwright challenged the term. A mutually respectful & productive conversation with speakers led to some clear commitments to find better language exploring the win-win of better lives & sustainable public services.

A real anxiety at #NCASC24 not relieved by a ministerial speech with many numbers which didn’t convince people in the hall that they added up. No sugar coating that govt decisions to date will make life harder for people who draw on social care. Time to offer some light at the end of the tunnel

Comments from the audience at this race&racism session are powerful. It is distressing to be having the same conversation 20,30,40 years later… our Black colleagues are tired, angry & carrying pain. And yet we ask them to meet the needs of Black children & families carrying the same pain. #ncasc24
