Please help.... The New Blendworth Centre is a small local charity supporting learning disabled adults. Please take a second to vote for us below as we desperately need votes. You can vote from multiple devices too & we'd appreciate any help you can give asda.com/green-tokens/s…
@portsmouthnews wrongly reporting Orchard Close has been saved. This is not yet the case and we will need your support with this latest consultation... Carers hail 'absolutely amazing' decision not to close respite centre for disabled adults portsmouth.co.uk/health/carers-…
Here we go again! HCC set to release new recommendations on Orchard Close this Friday with decision due on 3rd December! hants.gov.uk/news/2019Nov05…
"I am determined these measures will make the lives of autistic people and those with learning disabilities better." - @MattHancock Every NHS and social care worker will now receive mandatory training to better understand learning disability and autism👇 gov.uk/government/new…
@manginamuncher @portsmouthnews We sincerely hope that you never have to care for a severely disabled adult child, but should you have to, we really really hope you never need to rely on any form of support from the hideously poor @hantsconnect! 🙏
@JohnPerryHavant @portsmouthnews Yes John & @hantsconnect wasting more money through instigating an unlawful policy which they have had to withdraw. Absolutely shameful they target savings at most vulnerable & by trying to dodge their legal responsibilities.
@manginamuncher @portsmouthnews Picture taken from a story about #SaveOrchardClose from last year. Joe has severe special needs & always smiles for cameras. Over 30 families had to instigate high court pre-action protocol as @hantsconnect acting unlawfully. Not drama but lots of stress and HCC wasting money! ☹
The councillor in charge of adult social care @SouthamptonCC has told @BBCRadioSolent she's hoping to reopen the Kentish Road respite centre for adults with learning disabilities by July this year. @RespiteRefugees
Back at @hantsconnect today as the Health & Adult Social Care Committee hear the call in proposal for the recent decision to delay the proposal 7 months. Many carers not attending after being refused access to the meeting . #SaveOrchardClose
Look out for #SaveOrchardClose on this mornings Sunday Politics South show with coverage of last Weds Decision Day farce. (If you want to watch make sure you are tuned into the non HD BBC1 South as regions don't feature on the HD channel!)
Parent carers after decision made to delay deciding future of #OrchardClose on #HaylingIsland - a respite home for adults with learning disabilities. Cllr Liz Fairhurst says they want to explore different funding options but the carers say the delay creates anxiety.
Decision day for @hantsconnect on #OrchardClose respite centre in #HaylingIsland Five parent carers from @SaveOrchard making a deputation. Recommendation to delay decision until autumn while alternative funding considered. Parents say that will be too stressful.
@hantsrealbread @HantsInspH Thanks Darrin!
@HantsInspH Great work Dave 👍 portsmouth.co.uk/news/health/vi…
@BBCRadio2 @KatiePrice As unpaid carers we save local authorities £millions but support services are poor & being cut further. If carers were properly supported it would help care user gain independence but remain within their family & carers continue in that role saving money. Need to invest to save.
We collectively need to make sure that parents who don’t happen to be *actually studying public law* are able to enforce their family’s rights...#SEND
@chrissiehynes @EmilyKHudson @CllrCarpenter @hantsconnect Yes we would argue local authorities should start considering judicial review actions over goverment funding decisions.
@StrongCoffee4me @stevee_ed No but appreciate offer. We've already done crowd fund to employ barrister & following initial legal advice got legal aid application accepted. If there becomes opportunity to take the charitable trust off of council & run ourselves we may need to. Until then thanks anyway!
@CHallam1 Thanks Catherine we really appreciate the support. 👍
Best tweet of the days event definitely goes to @EmilyKHudson #Irony
A number of the parent carers who've come to hear the opinions on the future of #OrchardClose on Hayling Island and are now hearing councillors questions are having to leave as they don't have care this afternoon for their adult child with learning disabilities. #Irony
