It's the third and final day of #NCASC25
What a week it's been! Full of energy, ideas, and people who want to make things better.
We're wrapping up the week with one final session:
🟣 Explore all-age neighbourhood care, closer to home, joined-up services (11:50–12:35, Solent Hall)
#NCASC25 continues, and so does our mission for real co-production to be at the heart of real change, so more people can live their life their way.

Great lunchtime session at #ncasc25 on how Wiltshire Council and Pioneers from Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living are working together to improve adult social care.
We were joined this afternoon at #ncasc25 by Minister for Care @skinnock.bsky.social for an important discussion on the future of social care.
On the risk of neighbourhood health being dominated by the NHS, he said: “Social care must stand alongside health, not behind it or underneath it.
Delighted to see Ian Copeman, Housing LIN's Business Director, speak at #NCASC25 on “Partners in Care & Health – An ordinary home: improving housing choice for people with a learning disability,” chaired by Samantha Clark (Learning Disability England).

At #NCASC25 listening to minister Stephen Kinnock describe, with earnest sincerity, his vision for adult #socialcare. Much of the content could have been delivered by any minister over the last 28 years I’ve attended this conference.

#ncasc25 Clenton expressing succinctly the importance of the voice of lived experience in negotiating the fair pay agreement: “We need to be at the table, not on the menu.”
Jane Townson calling for consolidation of LA home care purchasing and commissioning with fewer provider for more hours, and that it is not headline pay but shift patterns that will have more impact on fair pay. #ncasc25 @LGAcomms @1adass
#ncasc25 day 2!
What does a Fair Pay Agreement mean for adult social care? Panellists include Tandra Forster, Chair of the ADASS National Commissioning Network and @clentonf.bsky.social.
#FairPayAgreement #Workforce #adultsocialcare
At the #ncasc25 today. Fair Pay Agreement - very clear principles and very technical in nature. DG Sally Warren asking the room to take a long term view of fairness. @clentonF reminding us the fairness has to reach across to self funders. @LGAcomms @1adass
