I have Cerebral Palsy, I get support for 3 hours a week to clean and sometimes cook for the week ahead too. My disability is mild, I can walk, talk and I work three days a week. I am also almost finished a Diploma of Communities and I will contuine my studies with a one year course in disability and other year course in mental health. I can't wait to help other people living with a disability in the near future. We are amazing and people just like the rest of soctiey. This video is awesome and it really provides and outlines what we, as disabled people need in our lives. Great work Adam, Andrew, Stephen and team.

I decided to become one as I'm struggling to find another job and we'll one of my cousin who knows me well said why not try becoming a support worker as I do want to help people who you need help finding hope and know they matter and I guess that's what support workers do and she said I've been doing it for a long time actually like taking care of people's kids and helping people with their life problems and also I'm a learning disability at that so I think that helps as well. So in going to give it a try wish me luck.

Wonderful video, I am a researcher at the University of Bristol working on a project that focuses on the role of support workers and family carers in supporting people with learning disabilities at GP appointments. I am enjoying meeting so many wonderful people through amazing organisations in the UK helping people with learning disabilities.

I feel uncomfortable when people with LD are unpaid. Why shouldn’t they be paid? It is dignity. At least, at the national minimum wage.They shouldn’t be taken advantaged of, and be expected to work unpaid. This is the case unless it is merely, initial pre-work training, for just a couple of days or a week or two at most.

@@Tad1945 Sorry, Tad. You are pretty much unaware of UK law, mate, to be blunt. The PIP is not means-tested at all and is a lot of money to support them. They keep their PIP (formerly, DLA) which is unaffected, even if they work full time and is paid very well. Only Universal Credit is affected & may be reduced in part or altogether. They are so enthusiastic to work. We tried hard to get them work. Unfortunately, employers only want a few token employees, to work for a day or two just to show off how ‘diverse’ their workforce is, on paper. And also, at times, parents stand in the way. They don’t understand that some of them work at a slower pace so these have had to be paid less with more or less the NMW, since productivity is key. The odd thing is, disabled people do not mind less pay at the NMW, as long as they have work rather than sit at home, alone & unstimulated. I have met so many & not one wishes to be unemployed! They want friends, company, something to talk about & a community to which they can feel they belong and a weekly or twice job won’t fulfil. But the (some ignorant and other over-protective) parents do sometimes stand in the way with unrealistic expectations of [more] pay. In an ideal world one sensible parent said she wishes her disabled son can work a 4-day week like in Spain, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Belgium, NZ and Japan. Here in London most disabled young adults we know unfortunately, only ever get jobs that are just weekly or twice weekly.
@Tad19452 жыл бұрын
@@wemuk5170 Yes when you say twice weekly that sounds like Permitted work where they can only work up to 16 hours they don’t lose any ESA. It’s when they go for their medical assessments they get fucked over but like you say it’s down to the parents and carers Discretion if they get into any employment, I was the manger of a coffee shop in the north east where we would assess people for 6 months to see how capable they were for work
@wemuk51702 жыл бұрын
@@Tad1945 Yes, but now ESA is no longer given out any more. It’s been replaced by UC. I know just one guy U-30 who still have ESA & that was given him years ago. I have no idea why they won’t let him move over to Universal Credit which seems more generous for one who likes to work? He wants a 5-day week. Today as said they get PIP which is unaffected by work and UC which is. Actually, it’s dreadfully lonely not to work if one’s under 30 as daycare services & centres are filled with those who are 55+. It’s great that you try to give them work, Tad. But tell me, why do their medical assessments trip them up? I run a disability club for people with disability and for parent/prof carers, so I can learn from folks there. I’m fortunate that my disabled son is up for self-employment (he has a particular talent & skill which he can do much better than most non-disabled competition) so he doesn’t have the kind of hazards others face in employment terms.

I’ve recently done sport in college for 3 years. Plan was to do sport with disadvantaged/disabled kids. I’d still like to do that but I think the market is very small for it and I’m thinking about becoming a support worker as even though my preference would be sport the point was to ultimately help them. Plan is to do a course in college or uni but not sure what course would be best for me? I want to teach people with disabilities basic life skills and to see them progress and become more independent. Plan is to do a course and something along side that like a part time job or volunteering! To put on my CV to show I have experience. What would you suggest?
