Y.O.U is delighted to annonce that our managing director Dr Danielle Farrel has been appointed to The National Care Service Advisory Board. Dr Danielle said:

"I feel privileged to be selected to join the NCS Advisory Board especially as there were several strong applicants.  I hope that my combined lived and professional experience alongside my values will compliment and enhance the knowledge and skillset of existing members and that as a board we can be part of implementing a national care service in Scotland, making social care more equitable an accessible in Scotland”

The chair of the advisory board Susan Douglas-Scott spoke of how Danielle will be a welcomed addition to the board. She said:

 

“I am delighted that Danielle has joined the National Care Service Advisory Board. She brings a powerful combination of lived experience of disability and professional expertise in challenging discrimination in all its forms. Her insight will be invaluable as we shape the advice we offer to Ministers and CoSLA leaders about the changes needed to secure equal citizenship for people who rely on social care.

We had a very strong field of applicants for the Board. Danielle stood out for the clarity of her lived and professional insight, and the alignment of her values with the work ahead.  Susan Douglas-Scott CBE Board Chair National Care Service Advisory Board”
