Well no,not really is there just found out my daughter who,s respite didnt cover her while Im away this June for shes only got till the 16th of June I dont arrive home till Saturday the 21st of June I complained to the Home first trush chief exeitive ,and they got back to me in 20days explaining that theres over Five hundred familys to cater for and that i was verbally aggressive to my daughters Social worker about the respite dates and told them that I would be sitll going on holiday and what were they going to do for my daughter for I wouldnt be here.The answer I got was ,they strongly advise me against carry out this threat to leave my daughter home alone ,but she will be in the carehome ,so why do they say this and this would raise serious question about my capacity to meet my daughters care needs and the trust would be required to take steps were appropriate to ensure her safety a\ned well being. This as made me think theres not much hope then when she leaves school this year my daughter is going on nearly 20yrs old this year.So thats me told off.I dont seem to be thought of ,I did say i was sorry for being aggressive to the social worker ,I m told that I have to give 6months notice this I did not know about ,Thanks for listening to me ,not sure what to think of the system now .
