Hi Pals. We've been a bit quiet on here, but we need your help. @AnneRabbitte 's office have sadly been ignoring our requests for a meeting since April. If you could add your name to this petition, it might encourage them to meet with us. my.uplift.ie/petitions/deli… Much love x
@rgarbra84 It's an absolute scandal. It's all about tackling the numbers to avoid litigation... one might just speculate.
@AnneRabbitte We are still waiting for a response to our meeting request.
Hi friends. How unequal do you reckon Ireland really is in terms of disability services? Surely we don't have a system where poorer children with disabilities have less access to services than others, right?.....
Please share. 1 minute explainer video aimed at all the people in Ireland who don't know but would care if they did. #actionnow
Video number 2 explains the changes the @HSELive is proposing to the Assessment of Need process and why it's not a good enough solution for our children. Their solution is about reducing risk of litigation as opposed to delivering quality care. Get yourself informed. #inclusion
HSE report for 1st quarter 2021 just landed in our inbox. In North Dublin, 6% of assessment reports were completed on time. National average? 14%. That's 14% of our kids having their legal entitlements met. This is state neglect.
@rgarbra84 @involve_d6_d6w We have templates for TD letters on the website and a link to a petition. We will run a campaign in late May or June that we will be doing a call out for volunteers for :)
@rgarbra84 Lots probably don’t. It’s hard to pick and choose what info to include in videos because people don’t watch things that are longer than a minute. We have follow ups coming :)
Hi folks. We need your help! Click link for letter template to send to your TDs. Hard work's done for you, fill in their name, your name & pop into an email. If enough TDs get enough letters, the ball gets rolling. Use the system to change the system. aonactionnow.ie/get-involved
The system is broken. Begin conversations about this at work and at home.
@eithnekav It’s a long list. Plenty of legal basis to insist on change.
HSE 4th Quarter Annual Report 2020, gotten through FOI request. 16,466 children awaiting initial assessment for Speech and Language Therapy. Broken into CHO and age brackets. We are not honourring UN convention on rights of persons with disabilities.
@rgarbra84 We put their reports into short graphs because the reports are pages long and we want the data to be accessible.
@rgarbra84 The different age gaps represent the HSE’s age groupings - that’s how they organise their lists.
Today's data: Speech and Language: No of 0-17 yr olds awaiting initial assessment AND how long they've been waiting for, broken down by CHO. The Disability Act says that AON must be commenced within 3 months and completed within 6. Future tribunals are made of this stuff.
Hi friends. This is a call out for any one who has good quality camera equipment and skills and is willing to donate a day and their expertise to help us film a family’s experience of the AON system. Send your feelers out please. Big love x
Morning. Petition is step 1, but it won't be the only step. Representatives for Psychologists, OTs and Speech &Language Therapists have condemned HSE's proposed changes to Assessment of Need. Sign petition to ensure quality disability services for children my.uplift.ie/petitions/deli…
DEEEELIGHTED that our website is ready and up! Ready to change the things you cannot accept? We are. Go to aonactionnow.ie and click on 'get involved'. It takes people power to get change across the line ❤️
