The England Care System Broken

Surprise Surprise . They have finally admitted to something I have been saying for years . The England care system is broken and theire are far to many kids in care . They are far to quick to destroy families rather than put in the support that is needed . Not only that but disabled kids and adults are being failed by the system . We asked for help many times when my youngest boy was growing up and never got it . We were left to battle as best we could . Even with my grandson who is autistic , we had to pay privately for his autism test because we were told he didnt have it . We were proved right thanks to private testing . My daughter gets no help and we have spent 100s of pounds on safety features inside and in the garden so he can play safely . The whole system is fucked up and social workers all need retraining and the actual system needs completely overhauling . I just wonder how long it will take for real change to happen and rules and regulations need to change . They have to make it clear that splitting up a family is the absolute last thing and that help must be there no matter the cost . Human life can never be said to cost to much . At the moment they are destroying peoples lives not helping them this can never be considered ok .

Wow...

I'm sure you have, but you should def. contact your MP with a complete, detailed write-up.

I think conditions like autism and Alzheimer's end up being very expensive & time-consuming...and that's part of the issue, at root.
