I've been a bit quiet here (there and everywhere) but this is something I've just written on the role of unpaid carers.

A failed care system, relentless cuts, austerity and the notoriously perilous 'transition' process (when you shift from child to adult social services) is a shameful mix.

It leaves families like Elliott's in a precarious position.

'The UK needs a social revolution, one that prioritises people with learning disabilities instead of continually cutting support and exacerbating marginalisation': self-advocate Joe Powell.

This is such a powerful report by Mary O'Hara on the relentless impact of austerity, social care cuts and the cost of living crisis on the disabled community.
