At last we have finally been allocated a Children's Disability Social Worker!!!!

This is from requesting a Carers and Needs Assessment months and months ago!
I have chased and chased this up constantly with Social Services but their reason for the mega long delay was that they didn't have a Social Worker available at that time.

Our newly appointed Social Worker is visiting me next week to do the assessment and hopefully we can at last as a family get the help and support that we have so desperately needed for so long.

I'm so relieved that things are finally moving.

I care for my son who is 11. He has low functioning autism, learning disability and some challenging behaviours and is just finding his voice. Taking one day at a time

Hi Amanda, sorry I'm just noticing this now. That's great news - I hope things are working out well for you now. It makes such a difference to have a social worker working for and with you.
