any tips or advice on where to advertise would be really helpful.

Hi and welcome on board
I an also visually impaired with a 14 year old son
You might want to try social services who have list of approved carers they also should have a sensory team who could maybe help as well
They can do an assessment to see what care you need
You can also refer yourself for a care needs assessment on the Gov website

Hi Tori, thanks for moving the post and for the tweak ?
FW stumbles before getting used to the place! -
Hey @janer1967
What a co-incident! How are you coping with home learning?
I’ve tried all the routes you have kindly suggested - my borough does not hold a carer register I am afraid.
I do receive a limited personal budget which makes attracting the right talent very difficult - any tips? -
Home schooling difficult when you cant see much to help but he does zoom classes so not too bad just have to help with few bits
I dont have any care I am in a wheelchair as i am also an amputer so not sure tbh I have seen adverts on Facebook before but dont know how safe that would be
What about students that are doing care courses
Hopefully other members may have some suggestions
