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.

    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.
