Hi everyone
We are looking for a respite carer for our daughter. It has become impossible now to take her on family days out and holidays due to her behaviour. Her siblings are suffering in the long term because everything is focused on our daughters behaviour or the threat of it.
We do get direct payments but it is impossible to find someone in the essex area.
Any suggestions please?
