At the SDSS National Voice yesterday, interesting workshops and more honesty about the gap between where we are and where we need to be.

As always, we won't get there without a real power shift and full accountability to disabled people and their families.

Loads of great projects and more to do!

We are receiving an increase in calls from people concerned about the scale and effects of reductions in support and services.

We recognise the need to balance the books, but we remain committed to supporting sustainable, effective and person centred support across Social Care.

Hello lovely people! Are you interested in some info about our new Person Centred Academy?

A chance for people with lived and loved experience of disability to learn to become planners for others.

If you are, please watch this video and get in touch. 😊
