Martin Walker

Policy Advisor for Personalised Commissioning and Self-directed Support, TLAP

Martin is a policy advisor at Think Local Act Personal and lives in Doncaster. Whilst working for the council there between 2007 and 2016 he implemented the changes driven by the 'putting people first' agenda and subsequently continued this work as the Care Act came along.

"It's great to wear two hats as Doncaster's Adults and Communities teams have made a commitment both to the social care future vision and to TLAP's Making It Real. Caring for my 89-year-old mum brings this to life as I get involved in co-producing with workers at the council from a different perspective, sharing our lived experience of health and social care and support in the city to help with making improvements."
