Welcome to the Assist UK's Chief Executive Blog

Welcome,

This is the first post in what will be a regularly updated posting from me, Alan Norton, to keep all the member centres of Assist UK, disabled people, and other interested parties informed of my ongoing duties and undertakings as Chief Exec of Assist UK. In addition to the new Assist UK website, I look forward to using the blog as a way of receiving feedback, and welcome comments and thoughts from you all, to help further communication between those of us working within the sector wishing to affect change.

I would like to draw your attention to this week’s e-Update which details the Commission for Social Care Inspection report released in January, following concerns Assist UK had already brought to the attention of Ivan Lewis, Minister for Care Services last December. Visit www.csci.org.uk for the report.

I wish to extend my thanks to Stephen Brooks, a member of Assist UK's Making the Links, for his written contribution to my online profile.
