VODG Annual Conference, Panel Discussion on Adult Social Care
We were delighted to have been asked to contribute to the opening plenary of the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group Annual Conference.
Alongside Sarah Pickup, the Deputy Chief Executive of the Local Government Association, and Tom Cahill, NHS England’s Director for Learning Disability and Autism, the event was chaired by journalist Saba Salman.
We spoke about the role of the voluntary sector, how to support unpaid carers, and how to ensure staff in the care sector receive parity with those in the NHS.
