First @STEPWales conference of 2025 is underway at Court Coleman Manor. First up a few words from our chair, @TheTrevorDurham.
Really important campaign. Sadly the signs of financial abuse of older and vulnerable people are all too prevalent, and sometimes there is behavior that neither the abuser nor the abused even recognises as abuse. We all need to be able to Spot the Signs.
Today STEP is launching ‘Spot the Signs’, a new campaign to raise awareness of the warning signs of financial abuse among people who have loved ones who may be at risk.
It can be hard to spot the signs of financial abuse so we have produced resources focusing on the signs to look out and action people can take.
Please share with your network and clients to raise awareness of this important issue.

Interesting interview with Wes Streeting on BBC R4 Today, emphasizing the need for cross party consensus on Social Care Reform for England (even when pressed by Nick Robinson "oh but you've got a big majority" etc).

Plus we now have to contend with both far right / Reform and far left / Green, each of which put forward entirely unaffordable proposals at the election (for tax cuts/ spending rises respectively). Unshackled by the need to stick to reality (as no chance of being elected.)

We've coordinated an Open Letter to the Chancellor, representing 130 local carer services in the UK
We're urging an exemption from the National Insurance hike, which could mean the difference between survival and closure for vital carer support services carers.org/campaigning-for-c…
Useful looking article from @carehome_co_uk on options for how to pay care fees.
Don’t forget to then visit @SOLLAadvice societyoflaterlifeadvisers.c… to find a specialist IFA who can help.

@STEPWales conference of 2024/2025 is about to get underway at Mercure Hotel Swansea. Introduction from @STEPWales chair, @TheTrevorDurham.
Excited for my first @STEPWales conference as Branch Chair today. Great news too that our revamping of the programme has helped us sell a record number of season tickets, and from across the related professions in the #wills / #trusts / #estates space.
