Carers for carers by carers

Morning guys I hope you will all join me in signing this petition, it's about domestic abuse and how a perpetrator will give access to your impact statements whilst applying for things like non-molestation orders, restraining orders etc, as we all know domestic abuse is not exclusive to any particular relationships,

The petition currently stands at 100 signatures and nothing will change until it hits 100,000

Thank you to those who have signed it and also shared it.

If you haven't yet then why not? It could help you or someone you know.....

Petition: Limit details of non-molestation orders being shared with perpetrators I am asking for only summary points to be given to a perpetrator of domestic abuse when being served with a non-molestation order, to help to minimise more harm or suffering for the victim

I'm delighted to be bringing a brand new suite of courses to you!

The courses centre around employed individuals becoming carers and carers entering or leaving the workplace.

The first course which is mentioned below, is to support carers into employment, looking at the skills achieved whilst being a carer and what steps are required for entering the world of work.

Based on and co delivered by an expert by experience, this suite of courses gives first hand insight into what a caring role involves and the personal impacts upon an individual and beyond.

Census2021 will inform decisions on services that shape our communities, such as healthcare, education, transport, and services for carers. That’s why it is vital that all unpaid carers identify themselves when completing their form – so if you care for someone, please tick yes to question 24 on your form

Some important information for us "full time carers" regarding the covid vaccine!!

If you still haven't received notification of your vaccine date be aware full time carers have now been pushed up the priority list!!

Please call your doctors surgery and ensure you are registered as a "full time carer" you will then be able to register straight away for a vaccine jab!!

So today I had been invited to take part in a zoom meeting with the occupational therapist department to give feed back on how they need to involve carers more when they treat people and how they approach carers to talk about the cared for!! Over a week this appointment had been made!! And of course as expected they haven't bothered!!
Yet again another complete disregard for carers!!

Disability Stockport Signpost Stockport for Carers Winmau Darts
As stockport disability darts league is the only darts organisation that recognises the full spectrum of disability that I know of, we know that a person's disability does not just affect the person with a disability!

At sddl we incorporate all aspects of disability, we recognise that through our total inclusion of disability its giving back a sense of competition , its rebuilding relationships which in turn improves a persons, a couples, a families, a carers wellbeing and we are helping stop social isolation with in disability!

So yesterday after 8 years and two previous requests that didn't materialise, I had my first ever carers assessment, by the time we were half way through it i was told my situation was "critical" how many more cases must there be like this??

This is not a political post but one of importance!!!
If you have attended any of the mass gatherings/ protests please can you stay away from anyone that is a fulltime carer!! For a minimum of 14 days!!!
I'm a fulltime carer and have more important things to worry about!!!!
Thanks

Carers are the forgotten few after disability that suffer the most from,
Injury's, social isolation, depression, accusations and much more!!

We want to hear both posative and bad experiences you've had in your role as a carer!! Either if you feel you've been fobbed off (which happens everyday) or if a department you've delt with has been helpful!
As I am in direct contact with relivant heads of departments all feed back here will help to build a criteria of how carers are left forgotten, spoke about as the third party, etc etc! So these issues can be put right, wether it's,
A hospital discharge
A hospital discharge that's gone wrong
A change in circumstances
A change that require helpful aids for carers
