We've had a press request from The Mail on Sunday, please find details below:
Have you or your child had their in-home care cut due to coronavirus constraints?
Or, have you seen a reduction in the quality of care?
Perhaps you’ve been threatened with an admission to a residential care home which is wholly inappropriate or not age appropriate?
We want to hear from you for a campaign piece for a national newspaper, in the hope of pressurising the Govt to prioritise care for disabled young people (under 40 preferably).
Contact Eve Simmons at Eve.Simmons@mailonsunday.co.uk or call on 07540191299.

What do I need to do?
-
Yes my son has no support other than us, his parents, even though he has funding. We don't have regular helpers at home as he is a uni student in another town but he will be at home for months now. Also we don;t really want people in and out of the house. So the care/support hasn't actually been "cut" due to covid, but the ability to actually find and employ helpers is almost non existent at the moment.
