Annie in wonderland

 This is going to be a short and sweet post and a post that I wanted to do and it is because people are starting to see support workers as not something to be ashamed of but they starting to be seen as a normal thing that people with a disability that have access to the NDIS might choose to use there are several forms of support and this is where things get complex. One is housing so this is mainly Sil housing ( supported independent living)  that has been established by a support provider and this depends on the person's needs and funding ratios, this is where ratios of support come in so this could be that you are either a 1:3 so that being one support worker to three clients, or a 1:2 or needing around the clock care being a 1:1 so this being one person to one support worker but in a housing situation its very rare.  I don’t like the term parents as we are the main character in our lives and not just a participant this is why I use client I know in some international governmen

  This is a really interesting question of what do to when a client complains about a support worker and there is no proof, but there with the support worker in question is a pattern of unacceptable behaviours, so things like falling asleep on shift, medication near misses,( that aren’t reported) behaviours that aren’t acceptable in a support worker working for an agency and this is a massive issue for both clients and providers and I have experienced this and it complicates things when it comes down to familiar relationships both within and outside of the company. This is a really complex question and I am going to try and answer the question due to the fact that I have had a situation that is similar to this pop up in my life but it wasn’t exactly like I am describing and I see that the response from the provider could have been so much better and it shows that you really do need good communication in the organization from the bottom up and the top down needs to be a clear two-way
