Monday 20 October

It’s a busy week with lots of medical appointments. I also need to attend a couple of important meetings at one of the local schools where I serve as a economies - they seem to think that I will be good at identifying these. Like lots of other London schools, they have a problem supporting children for whom English is a second language and who come from many other countries; there simply is not the money to give them the support they need.

I’ve also decided to dip my toe into the jobs market to see if there might be anything around that would suit me - perhaps on a part-time basis - and have contacted one of the government’s agencies. Bizarrely, although there are all sorts of grants for equipment and support for blind and disabled people once they are in work, there is nothing available in terms of specialist equipment, software, or personal support to help you back into the workplace!!
