Fees for university are now through the roof. But, conveniently, workfare placements still allow people who are disabled to participate "indefinitely". So, what, my son stacks shelves from 16 to 25 and that's his "education"? There's no provision, nothing even remotely thought out yet.<br /><br />And yes, agreed, direct payments are a nightmare. There's no "choice" when there's nothing to choose from - and I don't need the extra responsibility and headache of working, caring for my son, and also being an SEN specialist and provision professional on top of it. Seems like an easy way to blame parents when the system doesn't work.Oya's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184649716540468970noreply@blogger.com
