Fantastic to see Donald Macaskill and colleagues together at the United Nations to raise fundamental points related to the creation of an international convention for older persons rights. Very pleased that other GlobalAgeingNetwork colleagues from across the world are there too
‘Too many years have gone by, too many discussions, the time is now to make proposals.’
The chair of UN @OWEG14 in his opening remarks is spot on in highlighting the importance of making decisions this week to advance the #humanrights of #olderpersons .
Claudia Mahler Claudia Mahler - UN Independent Expert wants an international legally binding instrument on #olderpersons rights from the United Nations as we have done for children, women and people with disabilities. She is so right - it is the right time. The time is now.
Claudia Mahler - UN Independent Expert at @OEWG14 says we are at a pivotal movement for the #humanrights of older persons not just in the United Nations but in the international community. The clear gaps in the rights of #olderpersons , ageism and discrimination show the current system is ‘not fit for purpose’.

Attending a slightly different office this week! Privileged to be taking part in the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on Older Persons in #NewYork . Attended a stimulating discussion provided by Global Alliance yesterday and looking forward to contributing during the week long Session.
Completely agree that fixing and resourcing #socialcare is a priority for the nation’s wellbeing (and, yes, to ease the NHS’s challenges). Defence is important. But what use are secure territories, whilst we leave citizens vulnerable to illness & social deprivation? #bbclaurak

Thank you Donald Macaskill , our courageous leader! And Scottish Care for a fantastic day and night in Glasgow #carerevolution
Scottish Care It was an honour to have been invited to chair yesterday’s Scottish Care #Homecare24 conference, and being part of such an inspiring and motivating event. Fabulous awards evening also - congrats to all finalists and winners! #CelebrateCare
Totally agree with John Swinney - #socialcare in Scotland urgently needs an #immigration policy which both addresses our economic needs and which is humane and dignified. heraldscotland.com/news/24327706.…
Is it a snowball fight? ❄️ No, it’s our interactive session on #CareRevolution with 𝙺𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝙷𝚎𝚍𝚐𝚎 💚!
Delegates have to write on a piece of paper on ‘I’m the only one in the room who…’ then throwing it around the audience. More to come later on what delegates have to do with this.
This is powerful stuff folks. Well worth setting aside 9 minutes to listen to Donald Macaskill’s call for a #homecare revolution in #socialcare
“[we shouldn’t be] saving money at the cost of living life to the full”
In this podcast I share some thoughts on the need for a #CareRevolution based on a contribution to the Scottish Care #homecare 24 conference. #homecare #socialcare
