I would suggest getting an independent advocate social worker if you can’t find one I can give you my advocates details she has been worth her weight in gold to be honest and I pay her with my sons benefits as it’s for him at the end of the day.

Dont give up you have to keep on being a nuisance that sounds bad but you have to i had a really bad social worker in the past most are quite bad in my experiance,try talking to the boss and demand to speak to them and keep ringing till you get a reply or ring some advice lines ,go online and look for some numbers

I think you need to go and see some supported living places whether they are suitable or not . You may need a care assessment report . Get your daughter an advocate and an independent social worker . Supported living may not be the best place for her but only you can tell by looking at what they offer .

Not what you're looking for?
