I attended #ShowUsYouCare event in parliament where I met my constituent, Jack Hassan, to discuss his experiences living with a disability and the social care services available to him. We talked about the need for flexible social care that supports everyone.

It was a pleasure to join @csalliance.bsky.social in Parliament to talk to MPs about how vital good, reliable #SocialCare is. Thank you to all who invited their MP and made sure people living with mental ill-health, service providers, and carers were represented. #ShowUsYouCare

Emily Holzhausen, CSA Co-Chair, said: “MPs – your voice really matters to us. We want you to hold decision makers to account and work with us to secure a better future for social care. Investing in care is investing in all of us”. (4/5)

Jack, who receives social care, said: “The less care I get, the less independent I am. There's a real lack of aspiration for what a good life is for someone with a disability. We need a well-funded, needs-led care system that moves from enabling mere survival to fulfilling lives.” (3/5)

We heard from @annadixonmp.bsky.social‬ : “We must build political consensus on social care, and raise public awareness of how important care and support is. People who draw on and provide care are too often invisible. We have to change that and celebrate the value of care and support.” (2/5)

Yesterday, thanks to over 2000 campaigners who sent invitations, we welcomed MPs to our #ShowUsYouCare event in Parliament. Our attendees heard about the 3.5 million people unable to get the support they need and how we can work together to change this. (1/5)

We are looking forward to welcoming MPs and Lords to our #ShowUsYouCare event this afternoon.

Attendees will hear directly from policy experts, people who draw on care and unpaid carers about the state of social care and how to make sure everyone gets the care they need.

New analysis reveals nearly 100,000 adults in England have been denied state-funded social care due to a decade’s worth of spending cuts.

Our members will be in Parliament on 3 July speaking to MPs about what can be done to support older ppl, disabled ppl, unpaid carers and care professionals between now and the publishing of Baroness Casey’s recommendations.

“We'll continue to press Govt to do more. Social care is struggling now, with millions going without the care and support they need – they cannot be expected to wait and endure the current inadequate system."

Read our full response to the Terms of Reference for Louise Casey's social care commission:

careandsupportalliance.com/dhsc-publish...

"It’s great news that the terms of reference have now been published and work has got formally underway. However, we are dismayed that they refer to “recommendations that can be implemented in a phased way over a decade”, suggesting we will not get a fully reformed social care system until 2036."

CSA members warn Govt of strain on social care as national insurance hike kicks in. @ncfcareforum.bsky.social
Jane Townson @homecareassn.bsky.social says we will see “harm to individuals; greater burdens on unpaid carers; and more pressure on NHS services”
www.communitycare.co.uk/2025/04/07/p...

Latest data shows 53% of the public are ‘very’ or ‘quite’ dissatisfied with social care.

Consistent failure to invest in social care makes this unsurprising. The Casey Commission’s recommendations for reform of social care are sorely needed.
