I'm amazed that so many people here have experience of adults who have learning disabilities. I retired last year (voluntarily, I'm only 52) after spending 25 years working in all aspects of services in this area. It was field Social Work that burnt me out, finally, trying to find services for people when there was no money, and not being allowed to do it myself!!!!
Any information all you people may have about Advocacy would be welcome, as that is the only thing I have continued, and I need to start thinking about specialising. Thanks in advance, Bron.
