A huge thank you Vicky Foxcroft 💙 for all your work as Shadow Minister for Disabled people for the past four years. We appreciate the effort you made to get into the detail of the policies affecting disabled people and work in partnership with disabled people to push for change.

What’s the main pressure on #socialcare? The latest ADASS survey suggests it’s that the ‘boundary’ between social care and the NHS is shifting. People with more complex needs are now ending up in social care because of changes in NHS practice. Thread 🔽 adass.org.uk/documents/adas…

A must-read ADASS report today on challenges adult #SocialCare faces, from the perspective of local authority Directors of Adult Social Services. Headlines: financial pressures, growing demand, NHS & social care interdependence. The impact: too many people missing out on care.

.Liz Kendall's announcement that Department for Work and Pensions and the new government intend to address the barriers to work is encouraging. Disabled people have been left behind for too long. We need a supportive and tailored approach not the vilification of disabled people of recent years.

Remember: Whoever you are, whatever you’re going through, you can talk to us. #SamaritansAwarenessDay 🔁 Retweet this and help us let more people know we’re here 24/7 on 116 123.
