Really interesting morning with the The Poverty Alliance looking at what’s next for Human Rights in Scotland and the benefits of taking a human rights based approach to all our work. It’s time Scotland close the accountability gap and empower everyone to name and claim their rights.

💭 If you could suggest one thing to the Scottish Government about the creation of the National Care Service, what would it be? Your input could shape the future of social care in Scotland! ✍️ #NCSBill #HaveYourSay #Dementia #CareInScotland

Very excited to see this launch today. Co-produced by people living with dementia including members of About Dementia to challenge the stigma they face. Well done to the Lived Experience Panel and Scottish Government Dementia Policy for making it happen.
