Oxfordshire’s response to the flooding challenge
Stephen Chandler and Carole Mackay describe Oxfordshire CC’s response to the recent floods, working alongside the Thames Valley Local Resilience Forum.
Creating a brighter future
Imagine what adult social care could achieve if we back the White Paper’s ambitions and principles, says president of ADASS Stephen Chandler.
Care needs cash to reform
If the Government is serious about reforming social care, it has got to get serious about funding it, says Stephen Chandler
A singular opportunity for the social care workforce
Better pay is crucial to stopping workforce ‘churn’, says Stephen Chandler. The impact of COVID-19 on the economy is a chance to highlight social care as a growing sector that can offer secure careers and be a local engine of recovery, he adds.
Put people first
The future of care and support must be built around our homes and in our communities, writes Stephen Chandler.
Why we need to talk openly about social care
Why has Somerset CC let the BBC spend 10 months following the work of its adult social care teams? Stephen Chandler says it’s because as a society we need to talk about what we want for ourselves and our loved ones when we end up needing care.
