Rather, the incidents that occur even within services run by respected and reputable organisations working to do the best they possibly can for the people they support. I am not talking here about the systemic institutionalised failures we witnessed at Winterbourne View. If we’re all striving for the best outcomes, why is there not a more open discussion of the lessons learnt when things go wrong? Everyone has an interest in ensuring the person being supported is well cared for and achieves the best outcomes possible. Local authorities making a placement are rightly concerned that they are spending significant public money on a good service. When a family makes the decision to place someone they love in the care of a ‘third party’ they are vesting more trust in that decision than any other. Social care providers and the regulators are coming under the spotlight more than ever – and why shouldn’t they? Mark wanted to adopt a day to write something to challenge himself, and other social care providers. Next up today is Mark Lever, the Chief Executive of the National Autistic Society (NAS). This insight, together with her unique sense of justice (be it in the form of Dog the Bounty Hunter!) leads me to think that she could definitely teach Southern Health a thing or two. Whilst making it my youngest came up to me and said, “You’re always making LB stuff!” I started to prepare for what was coming next thinking, Oh here we go! Just because it’s not about you! But then she went on to say, “You should start an LB sewing support group and make buses and signs with his name on…and cushions.” Many different people pass through Scrap so it seemed like the ideal place to reach a new audience and spread awareness of Connor’s story and the campaign. I contacted Louise who runs a creative social enterprise called Scrap in Sunnybank Mills, Leeds and she was happy to display it for me in their cafe during 107 days next to Connor’s story. I chose this particular quote from the song because I felt it best captured the spirit of #107days and the positive actions people have taken to try and secure a better future whilst fighting for justice for LB.Īs it developed into quite a big piece I realised that I could do more than just share photographs of it through social media. The textile piece that I have made for #107days is centred around a quote from one of Connor’s favourite songs, ‘National Express’ by Divine Comedy and includes a London bus representing his love of buses and the Twitter bird representing the positive impact that social media has had in gaining support for the campaign. In fact, she is probably the reason that I am finally doing what I’ve always wanted to do.īriony made the most beautiful wall hanging for #107days, read on for more: You get tough, your priorities change and the little things don’t matter anymore. It almost always becomes another battle with the system.

It also hit me hard because my youngest daughter has autism and at nine years old I am aware of the realities of trying to access the support that she needs. It was heartbreaking to read and difficult to walk away from. I wanted to be a part of #107days and the #JusticeforLB campaign after reading Sara’s blog. Day 105 forms our hat-trick of three way adoptions for the week, it is shared by Briony, Mark and myself, George.įirst up is Briony, who had this to say about supporting #JusticeforLB:
