Looking forward to hearing all the innovation and best practice @IMPOWERconsult colleagues have been gathering from the European Social Services Conference and sharing them with our clients.

Really fascinating case study about how smart water meters have been used in Andalusia to respond to potential falls. AI is learning usage patterns and flagging when an older person might be in trouble. #essc2023

Fantastic to hear Becky Wilkinson and Wolverhampton Council's story of pivoting from being a trailblazer and moving forward with change.

Becky Wilkinson (@WolvesCouncil) on the importance of setting a local ambition in our workshop at @1adass Spring Seminar: “Every area is different, we’re all starting from different points…there is no government model that fixes everything for everybody” #localgov #socialcare

A great blog by my colleague Libby on #SEND bias. Definitely worth a read.

IMPOWER's Libby Caulfield on #SEND bias, and the challenges created by stereotyping. Examples from @LincolnshireCC & @LPCForum reinforce the need to shift from 'unconscious' to 'cognitive' #bias impower.co.uk/insights/she-d…

Really enjoyed listening to this podcast on the science of sleep today. It got me thinking about how working patterns should change in order for everyone to excel. Are you a lark or an owl? open.spotify.com/episode/134pet…
