What an absolute privilege to deliver the Love, loss and learning programme to people at Shared Approach ltd in Garstang.
This project, funded by the The National Lottery Community Fund focus on the wide range of losses experienced by adults with a learning disability throughout their lives.
It was particularly interesting to talk about the impact of staff turnover, how this affects people and what we can do mitigate the impact.
Personally, I had the pleasure of meeting up with two people who I had originally met as a Child Development Centre Social Worker about 50 years years. One of the greatest gifts of my career has been seeing people flourish over time. Whilst some days feel like we are making little progress in social care, encounters like this remind me that expectations have been heightened and outcomes markedly improved.
