@hanapsych I'm having this issue too, agents are saying because of the probationary period I need a guarantor. Usually have to plead with agents for them to let you provide alternative evidence. How can it be this hard to have a roof over your head when earning an above average wage?!

It's been a huge pleasure (if not without challenge, thanks C-19!) to lead the fantastic #STORM team. 🙏🙏 @LisaR_Psy @MichJOsborne @Uclusresearch @CTRCardiffUni @chrissavburke @ProfRHastings @HarryRoche11 @CarlaBarrett @laurakerr22 @ElfridaSociety +other EbE advisors+co-Is 😊

@ckrupinski Great they’ve kept it up and have each other to go through these things together. Thanks for sharing ☺️

@MichJOsborne That’s great news. Both my twin sons ( age 27) with FragileX also voted. They’ve managed it for last couple of years.

My sister has a learning disability and suffers with anxiety, she is 18 and made it into the polling station to vote today for the first time despite it being so unfamiliar- very happy and proud moment!

Stop using labels as an excuse! Teach disabled children to read and write #TeachUsToo - Sign the Petition! chng.it/ddyfGVLw via @UKChange Applies to children who are verbal with SEN too- very low expectations & limited resources are restricting opportunities to learn.
