We really shouldn’t, but the system makes it very difficult for #ParentCarers who are their children’s only voice! 💔

Only 4 in 10 women gave quit their jobs to look after their #disabled child? After supporting #ParentCarers for the past few years and being one of those statistics, I’d guess the figures are much higher!
Glad someone is looking at this impact. Trying to juggle work and two disabled kids is already hard (where are the accessible holiday clubs?!) but if your child can’t access school, forget it. Aren’t we meant to be “getting people back to work”?

I’m certain this is every #ParentCarers biggest worry. What will happen to our children when we’re no longer here, to fight for them, be their voice and get them what they need to thrive?

I’m another woman who gave up her career over 24 years to support my #disabled child, leading 2 supporting my fellow #parentcarers for over a decade & half I categorically say this number is so much higher & also those who have taken a different work path to allow for caring responsibilities!

It really is a relentless uphill battle. Sadly the system is much harder to navigate than our children’s #disability!
Tell me that makes sense!
