The pathways to accessing residential treatment remain a postcode lottery, with too many people living with coexisting substance use and mental health issues struggling to get the right support. It’s time to make access fair for everyone.

We have thought-provoking contributions on wellbeing in this issue – mental and physical – including our cover story (p6) in which the team demonstrate that addressing nutritional deficiency should be a regular part of harm reduction. It’s also clear that there’s much to learn in relating nutritional need to the body’s responses to specific substances.

Our CEO @r-cackett.bsky.social is speaking at today’s Next Steps for Social Care in Scotland and Care Reform Act Implementation Scotland Policy Conference. Here’s an extract of what she’ll be saying:
A quote from Rachel Cackett, CEO of CCPS. The quote reads: “The answers to reform are at the frontline: in organisations like those I represent, with supported people, with unpaid carers. We have solutions. So value us as strategic partners in reform, not transactional customers. Then we may get the change we are told politicians of all parties want to see and people in need of support desperately need.” To the left of the quote is a photograph of Rachel speaking at an event.

Following the launch of a campaign by Unite urging the Scottish Government to address the crisis in social care, our CEO @r-cackett.bsky.social responds. 💬

@alliancescot.bsky.social
A quote from Rachel Cackett, CEO of CCPS. The quote reads: “In our letter to the First Minister last month, with the ALLIANCE and 240 health and social care leaders, our calls included an immediate, substantial cash injection in the upcoming Spending Review. We are heartened to see Unite share our sense of urgency. An investment in social care is an investment in Scotland’s future, underpinning families, communities, essential jobs and the Scottish economy – and CCPS is committed to working with the Scottish Government to achieve this.” To the left of the quote is a photograph of Rachel. In the bottom right is the CCPS logo.

The Care Reform (Scotland) Act is not all we hoped it would be, but some last-minute amendments from MSPs earlier in the summer present opportunities for further reform.

In this video, our CEO @r-cackett.bsky.social explains how we might build on these in the future. 👇
