This week, staff at our main office have been coming together for some briefing sessions. These have been a great opportunity to talk about some of the issues affecting social care just now. And as part of these we shared CCPS - COALITION OF CARE AND SUPPORT PROVIDERS IN SCOTLAND's #MoreThanWarmWords campaign. They were keen to show their support for our colleagues who are working in direct support roles, and were 100% behind the campaign messaging. They hope that the mugs give our MSPs some food, or tea, for thought.
