This is a really helpful graphic from @contactfamilies summarising the excessively complex law on social care assessment for disabled children and families

All parent carers of disabled children in the UK have a right to ask for their family’s needs to be assessed by social services through a Needs Assessment and a Carer’s Assessment. Check out Contact for help guidance on applying, challenging and complaining @contactfamilies

News today of a murder-suicide involving a mother & her disabled child. There are ~13 carer-perpetrated homicides & homicide-suicides in England each year, with a range of motives. All are tragedies, many could have been prevented. If you need help, call @samaritans
