Today, I find myself reflecting on the significance of quality assurance in social care. It’s a topic that resonates with me—someone even said to me yesterday, “You live and breathe QA.” While that might be a stretch, I am genuinely passionate about impactful quality assurance. In my line of work, we have the incredible privilege of supporting individuals and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. Each day, we step into their lives, and our responsibility is immense. Our powers are extraordinary, and with that comes the duty to ensure that every person we serve receives the right service at the right time, provided with the respect and dignity they deserve. So I think it is reasonable to ask ourselves, have we helped? And if we did, what facilitated the help being effective if we didn’t, what were the barriers? Whilst all these are reasonable, in all places I worked, I’ve noticed (and it was hard to miss) a prevailing sense of reluctance and fear when the topics of quality assurance and auditing arise. It is as if these discussions are clouded by anxiety, mirroring a collective apprehension where misconceptions can overshadow the potential benefits. Why do these feelings overpower the good of quality assurance? Perhaps it’s the fear of scrutiny, the worry of being judged, or the anxiety that comes with being held accountable. These emotions can lead us to view quality assurance as a chore and numbers rather than an opportunity for growth and enhancement. Beyond processes and protocols, quality assurance it is about the conversation, the insights we share, the stories, the relationships we build. It’s about celebrating progress, however small, and recognizing the resilience of those we work with. Every interaction presents an opportunity to uplift and inspire hope. That is why I include in my audit training the “Lollipop moments” concept and Drew Dudley’s clip- https://lnkd.in/e7UCFs8d. This one remains my favourite leadership concept. As we navigate a landscape filled with complexities and barriers in social care, let’s view quality assurance as our ally. Besides remaining accountable to those we serve and to each other as colleagues, it can also bring innovative ideas about how our practices can have a greater impact, often at lower costs. So I thought I’ll ask, and hope to get some insight: How can we do quality assurance better? How can we foster a two-way street of communication and collaboration?

I don't know what my superstrength is. When I joined the Up Club team (nearly 9 months ago) it was the first time I was asked to deeply reflect inwards, and I found it SO hard. How do you know what your super strength is? I did an exercise where I asked 15 people around me (friends, family, colleagues) "what 3 words would you use to describe me at my best". The answers were FASCINATING. So far I've learnt I have a great combination of empathy, analytical thinking and organisation. That means I am pretty good at: ⭐️ Community management & communication  ⭐️ Pulling together disparate bits of data to find insights ⭐️ Execution - I am great at getting things done   One fact which has stuck with me is "happy brains are 32% more productive". Doing what we're good at makes us happy, opens up our learning receptors - so we get even better. I would love to hear any other resources people have used to find their superstrength?

🎤 The Stage Fright of Community Engagement 🎤 Ever noticed how a community can sometimes feel like a room full of people all too shy to grab the mic? It's not that they don't have voices, it's more that they're waiting for that cue from the crowd that says, "We're interested in what you have to say about this". Encouraging Active Participation is about creating an environment where jumping into the conversation feels as natural as chatting with friends. Here's what helped me: - Kickstart the Conversation: Drop in thought-starters. Instead of broad, "What's everyone's thoughts?" try "What's one tool you can't work without?" Specific prompts get specific responses, breaking the ice and making it easier for others to jump in. Bonus points if you tag someone to weigh in on a topic that you know they're familiar with. - Build Connections Beyond Threads: Share common ground, celebrate shared victories, discuss challenges. Knowing there are others in the same boat makes diving into discussions feel like joining a group of allies rather than facing a panel of judges. To actively engage your community, tailor conversations with thought-provoking questions, spotlight shared experiences and shout out members at appropriate moments. Adding consciously *encouraging active participation* to the #ChiefVibesOfficerChecklist, because every community member needs to feel welcome enough to speak. #communitymanagement #communitymanagers
