Work experience at school


How did you get it done privately? I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
Pleased your daughter is sorted in a school suited for her needs. My son is fine at school, it's what happens when he leaves that I am worried about.

Apparently my partner searched online and found one with good reviews. If we had waited for an nhs referral to have her diagnosed we would still be waiting now.

There will be help out there, it’s finding it or knowing how to tap into it so that you can use it.

Keep fighting for your child, it’s the scruffy lazy family’s that take all the places up desperate to have their normal children diagnosed so they get more benefits.

Fight for everything as he sounds like he needs help. Good luck man

Don't agree with the scruffy lazy bit cos at the end of the day we all want what is best for our kids.

Thank you, he already has his diagnosis but really need some support for when he leaves school in 2 years time.
 
Thank you very much for that link, I'll have a read through it.

It's really difficult as my 23 year old daughter is severely disabled and in a wheelchair and I'm a single Mam (their Dad hasn't been involved for years). If I could drive I could drop him off at college/work but as it is I can't so doubt he could even get there. I really wish I had learnt when I was younger - it would change my life but I don't have the confidence now. I can't imagine him ever being able to get on a bus on his own or cross main roads, the thought terrifies me. He is in his own little world most of the time. I worry about them both nonstop.
It does not matter you didn't learn, it's no big deal. What matters is how you cope and you've shown you have the minerals, remember those covid days, that was a test for everyone but nore more so for you,. Take strength from that, you're doing a great job as a parent and that is all that matters 👍
 
Sunderland port Authority was mine. My dad worked on the river at the time which both factors got me an interview to work on the Pilot Cutter a few years later. I had to turn it down as I had just moved to London and was either joining the ambulance service or was just in. My life would have been so different had I had chosen to move back north.
 
I went to Safeway in the Denmark Center in town (it’s now Mecca Bingo) in 1991. Hated it. Those things are never nice things you enjoy doing. It’s always jobs you don’t enjoy.

Did a week at a metalworks place on the sheepfolds.

I absolutely loved it but fuck I learned to have tough skin after lunch on me first day. The piss taking that happened after I opened my bait box for the gadgees to see my mam had cut my sarnies in to triangles :oops:
 
Parts department at reg vardy nissan. Only chose as it was 2 minutes walk from home. Had a canny bait room.

Did another in 6th form at homeworthys in the office
You’ll have worked with Stu, MLF from Willington.

Was Jean serving up the bait? Always a canny bait room when I worked there.
 
We were allocated stuff rather than organising yourself as my lad does now, and I was allocated a week on a farm.

Everybody laughed and took the piss but what a week it was, I came back with stories how I drove the tractor (at age 14), played with the farm dogs and got given weird but lovely food off the farmer’s wife.
