Our Director of Practice Innovation, @JosephJLong has written for today's @heraldscotland calling for social care pay to be increased. Parity of esteem must also mean parity of reward. @ccpscotland  heraldscotland.com/opinion/2…

Finally catching up on @scottishautism's conference from October. Really great mix of presentations on a range of different topics. Enjoying the key themes of being person-centred, relationships being something to be nurtured and mindfulness of embracing/accepting differences. 😊
