In an ongoing matter involving Social Services, a social worker, an independent social worker, a hospital official, a representative of CAFCASS, and even her own legal representation, my autistic niece has been disallowed any kind of support during all encounters with all parties. Her diagnosis is a matter of record, and known to all, and yet it has been universally and systematically disregarded.
Each of the aforementioned parties makes it's own interpretation as it sees fit, and in many cases, her words have been chosen for her..
Does anyone have any comment or advice..?
Appeal. You have good chances of winning, although it will take forever. They just hope that you are too scared to appeal.
Thank you, your response is much appreciated. That does indeed seem to be where we're heading, but aside from a question of being too scared, the effects of exhaustion perhaps weigh even heavier.
