Hello all, this is annoying me...I mean the fact that a lot of people with autism are struggling in one way or another with social services and support. Does anyone know if there is a way to establish which parts of the country have poor services and which have good services. A tab under username with location might be an option to make it easier to identify which users are in your area are also having bad times with their social services department and which services they have found useful.
There doesn't seem to be anyone making sure councils are doing what they are supposed to under autism and care act. It seems that often these laws are nothing more than words on paper and they are not enforced by anyone. Complaints about assessments and budgets are constantly being made by service users but the people complaining get no where and have little way to get the help they really need. Apart from the difficult task of finding a solicitor and then going to court, the LGO is one of he only options available to those having difficulties with their council. And if they don't hold they council accountable and find no fault....theres less and less chance those with autism will lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. And social inclusion, forget it.
