Yesterday Minister @ThomasCArthur visited Quarriers in Glasgow to hear about their community-based approach to care and specialist epilepsy support model. They also discussed advocacy and how evidence from front line care helps inform and drive improvement across the care sector

Every time I speak to Scotland’s care sector, they tell me they need more people.
Westminster’s migration policies are very damaging to social care, but I’m proud that our displaced workers scheme helps care providers, like @quarriers who I visited today, retain skilled staff.

Our Displaced Workers Scheme is enabling more people to support our vital care sector and build lives and livelihoods in Scotland.
First Minister @JohnSwinney met internationally recruited social care workers with charity @quarriers.

Many people will likely be unaware of the number of younger people who are in an unpaid caring role. Many thanks @CarersTrustScot @CarersTrust for this post to help highlight the challenges they can face. @HSCPshire @quarriers @barnardos @CPAberdeen
"Young carers don't have time to see their friends, play or do something creative."
There could be around 1 million young carers in the UK who face this reality every day.
That's why we're bringing together people working across services for children and adults for our Young Carers Futures Conference.
Join us on Thursday 23 October and help lead the change our young carers need.

Week 4 of Fit & Fed is off to a busy start! Today we welcomed back @fire_scot, and our young Buddies got to explore, ask questions, and learn how they keep us safe. 🚒 Later, our older kids enjoyed a workshop with our new partners, @quarriers. It was that good they almost didn’t want to go back to the football! ⚽

➡️ At the end of each week we share messages from our members about why they value social care and support.
Today's message: 'Because of the transformative impact it can have...' 👇

Last year, we invited our members to share the reasons why they value social care and support. ✏️
Every Friday, we share one of their messages. This week’s is simple but true:
“People matter!”

At the top of the card there is a heading in purple which reads, ‘I value social care and support because…’ and underneath, a handwritten message in dark green, which reads: ‘People matter!’ The messages are from a CCPS event in May 2024 at which members’ views on the true value of social care were captured. CCPS is sharing the messages to promote the voice of our members and raise awareness of the true value of social care.

Maggie Chiwanza from MECOPP - Minority Ethnic Carers of People Project talks about the challenges of self identification as a carer with humour: “I didn’t think I was a carer, I just thought I was a fabulous daughter!”

We sometimes think we all know what to do! But I am sure there’s quite a bit you've not consider 💭 particularly when you are caring for someone.

Our President Lori Oschefski is pleased to be in Scotland for the next couple of weeks, part vacation and part BHC work. Tomorrow we visit the @quarriers with our lovely BHC Quilt. Several of the children on our quilt came to Canada with Quarriers. It's nice to bring them home.
