David Wood

Trustee

David has over thirty years of lived experience with neurodisability and extensive experience with the social care system through his family and friend networks.

David holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the Open University. His personal experiences of disempowerment by public bodies with statutory duties of care and support have reinforced his belief that everyone should be treated equally by the law and be empowered to challenge injustice. David is delighted to support Access Social Care in changing lives by providing legal advice about social care and campaigning for social care reform.

David brings governance experience to Access Social Care from previous roles in the national structures of the Methodist Church and one of the former NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups. He has a particular interest in equality, diversity, and inclusion matters.
