What does it really mean to work in a strengths-based way - and why should it matter to everyone in health and social care?
In this episode, Alison sits down with Hayley Eccles, Deputy Director of Adult Social Care at Lincolnshire County Council, to explore how a strengths-based mindset transforms the way we think about care and support.
Hayley shares her own journey from Support Worker to Deputy Director, and why those early working experiences still shape her belief that people’s strengths, relationships, and communities are at the heart of meaningful care.
Together, Hayley and Alison unpack what it takes to move from “fixing problems” to building on what people can do, creating independence and connection rather than dependence.
From culture change to community partnerships, Hayley makes a powerful case for being brave enough to do things differently - putting people, not systems, at the centre of everything we do.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about co-production, compassion, and the golden thread of strengths-based practice running through care in Lincolnshire.
