Thanks, Donna. I'm imagining you surrounded by screaming girls and then giving in and scream-singing along with them! Sounds like a lot of fun.
It's good to hear that someone as experienced as yourself is a Parent Carer Rep at the local council, Carer's Partnership. I'd be interested to hear more about how it works with your local council and the roles/format - if you're allowed to share that? I know the mobilise organisation works with councils to identify carers, and that there is some coproduction with social care but I'm ignorant about how councils engage with carers.
Sending you prayers and best wishes for both operations and plans.
I was actually asked to become a Parent Carer Rep by the Head Social Worker for All Age Disability at our Local Authority. I knew her because she was once Nathan’s social worker (she was already a team leader also). She knows our family - we probably have a reputation for campaigning! Lol! It’s sort of snowballing - every time I go to a meeting I get invited to another one! 😂
I know that our local Carers Association also tries to recruit. Coproduction is a real ‘buzz’ word at the moment which is great as it gives service users the chance to have their say…
