February 2022 newsletter

For several years we have worked with our partners in local authorities and the third sector to agree an improved way to ensure a smooth transition pathway for people with Additional Learning Needs.

Please check out the Transitional planning proposals and take a few minutes to share your opinions - these are being signed off soon so please let us know any improvements you feel need to be made

after looking at the proposals please see the survey below

We regret to say that after a short illness our chair and trustee of many years, Pauline Young MBE has passed away

The lottery funded Connected Carers project has completed its 3 year funding and we are holding an online celebration to mark the event

It has proven so popular with carers we are determined to carry on supporting our members with more of the same and new activities in the coming years

We need your ideas and support to make this happen

We are updating our records to ensure that carers do not miss out on the many offers for help for carers currently available

We need your mobile number to send regular latest updates

Covid rates are higher than ever and it seems the rules on where we go, who we can see and how we can attend to basic needs are constantly changing

The latest guidelines from Public Health Wales can be found here

If in doubt don't go out!

Direct payments can offer a great deal of flexibility but finding a Personal Assistant (PA) can be tricky and having enough hours to attract one can make things more difficult.

Together with the All Wales Forum of parents and carers we are hosting an event in person and online where you can learn more about how families across Wales have been creative in using hours in ways that open up more opportunities

The event is scheduled for 13th July at the Techniquest centre but you can join online using Zoom

An event to showcase what opportunities are available for children and young adults is being held on 29th April at Future Inns in Cardiff Bay

The past two years have been unprecedented.

We have  become used to unfamiliar and unsustainable ways of living and coping with reduced levels of support and services 

We have an opportunity to help influence the future but need your support 

As the new year begins we start another lockdown - what does this mean for us?

There are a number of schemes currently offering carers a free smartphone or tablet
