In this episode of Yes to You, the Lifeways social care podcast, our host Paul is joined by Jodie Allen-Cawley, Lifeways’ Head of Quality and Health & Safety, to discuss how co-production and personalisation help social care providers avoid ‘serviceland’ – an all-too-common scenario where people receiving support are led by their teams and the rhythm of the service they live at. Jodie also looks back at the history of social care, starting when her career as a carer began in the 1980s.

In this very first episode of Yes to You, the Lifeways podcast, our host Paul is joined by Will Oborne, Community Engagement and Business Development Manager for Lifeways’ East region, to discuss navigating the transition from children’s to adult services. Child-to-adult transitions usually means 17 or 18-year-olds who move from a parent’s home, school or facility into a supported living, or residential service.
