Exhausted full-time Carer of adult son. Angry about how shit Adult Social Care is for most and trying to influence positive change locally one small step at a time. Currently trying to learn the legislation because someone has to.
New school census data about pupils with Down's syndrome isn't going to be published after all, due to 'data collection issues'. (Schools were given autonomy to report on what they considered to be each pupil's two most important learning needs).

It took me that long to work out how to set up an account. Another 10,000,000 users and I might have sussed out how to post something.
