Passionate about inclusion, I work with In Control Scotland for a fairer Social Care system and have long history of supporting people with a range of labels to escape long stay institutions. Particular interests include focussing on relationships and trust rather than power and control when supporting people who the system has given up on, as well as rebalancing power and risk conversations to give confidence to work in a more human way.
I started work in the hospitals, coordinating people moving out of long stay institutions, and then moved across to the Third sector for the next 25 years managing services and developing new supports.
I set up Positively Minty to continue work on significant change around Social Care risk and inclusion in 2017, and continue that work with In Control Scotland now.
