#GloriasLaw will help ensure nobody suffers this torment again. All of us who saw this happen 4 years ago will never forget. For every single person that was denied the right to family life, many of whom are no longer here, this is for them. #RightsforResidents #CareSupporter

Last week Keir Starmer said he supported #GloriasLaw . This week, we, along with our amazing ambassador Ruthie Henshall have written an open letter to him, asking that it be put in the The Labour Party manifesto - so will you Keir? #RightsForResidents

An all to familiar story, sadly, the lack of support, the minefield that is #socialcare , the lack of co-ordination between the NHS, Community Care, Local Authorities and Care Homes meaning many are trapped in hospital much longer than they need be #RightsForResidents

The 10 canine commandments…

⏰ My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful to me. Remember that before you commit to me

🐕 Give me time to understand what you want from me.
Place your trust in me. It’s crucial to my wellbeing.

🐶Don’t be

The Māori word for #autism
is takiwatanga,
‘in their own time and space’
I for one think it’s lovely
to describe the condition
I can relate to this
as I find focusing on one thing
at a time works better for me.

“When you're not perceived by other people and your social needs are so deprived…you don’t actually know you exist”

Alexis Quinn who was held for 3 years in a mental health facility due to her autism speaks to Victoria Derbyshire about her experience.

To all walkers If u see sheep lying on its back with legs up, it is 'cast'. Please tip/roll it back over; if left like this, they can die as they can not get up. most 'cast' sheep will be carrying lambs, hence their struggle to get to their feet.
Please be kind enough to share.

Please help us find younger brother. He was last heard from at the end of January with supposed sightings near Kings Cross, London.

Grateful to Keir Starmer for backing #GloriasLaw .

Access to loved ones in care settings must be guaranteed as a legal right.

My #CareSupporters Bill is backed by campaigners, cross-party MPs, and would be implemented by a Labour government.

Respectfully sharing our thoughts on Alzheimer's Society recent film and some of our experiences working with people who have the diagnosis, families, carers and friends

So now it is over to you Rishi Sunak Ed Davey do you both support #GloriasLaw - the legal right to a #CareSupporter #RightsForResidents 4/4

“My Labour government will be focused on ensuring that everyone has the support they need … and we will work closely with campaigners to remove any barriers, change any legislation, and review any guidance, that stops that being a reality.' #RightsForResidents 2/4

Thank you to all who have written to their MPs asking for their support for #GloriasLaw #RightsForResidents 🧵1/4

On Sunday, in an interview, Labour leader Keir Starmer said he supports calls “for a legal right for care home residents to have visits from their loved ones”

In case you missed it yesterday, Keir Starmer backing #GloriasLaw 👏
He thanked 'the tireless campaigners who have continued to fight on this issue week-in week-out'.
We thank all our supporters for backing this campaign, writing to your MPs & pushing for this vital new right 🙏

Today i think of Wendy Mitchell, who for so many years bravely shared her experiences of living with dementia Alzheimer's Society Innovations in Dementia

John's Campaign Dr. Jane M. Mullins 💚 Kate Lee I also have tried to see another side. I can’t. People LIVING with dementia are ALIVE and must be treated as such. ALL the work the reenforce this, threatens being undone by a thoughtless advert by those who should know better.

So much to unpick about this statement, and to be honest little of it is good. But here’s some quick thoughts. 1/n

6. The central pitch of your message actively rejects 10 years or more of your own work about how to be inclusive when discussing dementia. You’ve ignored your own guidance, guidance you expect the rest of us to adhere to (its in the requirements for your research funding!)
