My son is 17 with GDD, Dyspraxia, he has behaviour issues too. He has a sister of 14, both on CPP, social services have issues with safeguarding, so my girl is living at my mum's. SS are doing a bad job with my son, they care more about my girl, I need to find accommodation for my son, with support so my daughter can come home,,,,,help!

Does your son have an advocate maybe it would help him and you, if you can afford it get yourself a private social worker who does consultancy work I did it was worth every Penny. You could also register with the carers Association they maybe able to support and advice you or the Mencap helpline. All helpful contacts.
