Question
So, I'm a 26 year old disabled parent who loves my children but now they are both at school and nursery I'm desperate to get into work. I have a
Lot of qualifications but nowhere will employ me because i can't walk independently, so would struggle to get to and from work and get from 'a' to 'b' in the workplace. Do any of you work and if so what do you do? I'd love an admin or reception position preferably in the field of health and social care because that's my area of qualification. Is there any way I could get practical support to get to and from work or help in the workplace? X
Question
I am severely disabled and terminally ill single parent. Child not involved with Father either. Long story but after finally complaining to Adult Social Services that my needs are firstly going to be to prioritise my 10 yr old child’s care, which is what they still hadn’t acknowledged I need help with so my daughter can safely live with me - I can’t care for myself.
Suddenly they’re referring my child to children’s social services!
Please can somebody tell me where I stand (or sit Haha) legally?
Who is supposed to help me? And my child?
I

Hi there, I have fibromyalgia and have recently gone into a flare up since a period of illness. I am looking for some equipment that would help me with looking after my daughter. As she gets bigger I am struggling to lift her and carry her. I use a power chair to get about and my daughter no longer wants to be in a sling. Any suggestions welcome x
Question
Just wondering if anyone knew any services that women with physical disabilities can use to help with safe births and maternal satisfaction, I've seen a lot for antenatal and postnatal but not a lot of services dedicated solely for labour.
