This period in time has been a social experiment on a grand scale, demonstrating that when we need to we CAN
 flex our business models and trust workers to do their jobs from their own homes.

But cancel culture is gaining traction. We need to truly allow voices to be heard and listened to, and ensure associated actions to ensure equality, inclusion and cohesion even across our apparent differences in ability, colour, ethnic roots, sexual orientation, religion, political affiliation .... and yes, even football team affiliations! ]]> 2020-11-24 11:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/955738270 Connected, Supportive Culture https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/955763233 For too long government, even at local level, do not listen or connect with stakeholders. They have preferred to work in isolation with and on systems that have long-ago become onerous and prone to abuse.

We need to engage/connect and work with our large volunteer support groups within area organisations, whilst improving and closing gaps in our systems. This is the only way we will be able to succeed in the coming years.]]> 2020-11-24 11:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/955763233 Cultural change https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/955801504 We need to work on a supportive 'tough love' culture whilst managing political correctness (that has caused the passive-aggressive, abuse of welfare and cancel cultures that is prevalent). 

Differences (disability, cultural/ethnic origins and understanding, literacy, etc) need to be considered in this cultural change... but in a positive way to ensure that these are harnessed to our economic and cultural advantage.]]> 2020-11-24 11:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/955801504 Really good concluding discussion. Lots of key points about how to ensure 'real devolution'. It is clear that local poeple should be at the heart of decision making and we have discussed many ways to achieve this. Great to here the focus on skills and how CA could and should be leading on this and that they are best to deliver this and should be supported to do this. Over centralisation does not work and collaboration between all layers of Gov works best! dominicjonesvoice https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/960019716

We all know that power is best when closest to the people so we should continue to show this in practice as well as asking for more. Perhaps then we will have more of a permanent devolved settlement if that case is still clear and benefiting out communities!]]> 2020-11-25 15:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie424/mwl68cy394jr4xxm/wish/960101921 No precarious work that is short term and low paid that causes anxiety in the population. We need A moral economy that offers meaningful work with career progression that offers a way out of poverty. Also an economy that will help to rebuild and renew our communities in a social sense through youth work, adult and social care, adult education, food poverty, support for those experiencing this pandemic crises that is moving families into poverty. Support workers in primary and secondary schools and housing workers to prevent homelessness and welfare workers to support people with welfare and applications.
