"I am so angry and frustrated"

I had been waiting for over 2 years for a social worker to review my disabled son but his social worker was on constant sick leave, so they assigned a duty social worker to talk to me.

I had to explain my son’s life story to her then she asked what help I needed. I said I needed referrals for a few different things she said that was fine.

I waited another 2 years only to be told she had left for another job and didn't refer my son for nothing and had actually signed him off of disability learning completely.

I was sitting waiting for all these referrals knowing they would take a few years before he would be seen only to be told nothing had been done and he was no longer affiliated with them at all.

I was heartbroken because I have sat here with no help or support for over 4 years with a son with behaviour issues with self harm and violent tendencies while I have other children in the house. I was asking for help the day the duty social worker attended to talk to me for this to happen.

I am so angry and frustrated that I had waited nearly 3 years, fighting to get him the help to begin with only to have to go through it all again.
