The circle turns

A while ago, as in a damn long time, we were told that "out of county" placements were to be no more.


We were heading for extinction off to join the dinosaur....


Of course in the back of my mind I always doubted, I remembered a few times where this has happened before.



Confidentiality prevents me saying exactly what has gone down. But there is a young person with complex needs who is in danger in daycastle and suddenly they have remembered where we live.


Overnight from being a bloody nuisance we have gone to being  highly valued.


That said meeting this young persons need is either us or somewhere where the weekly bill has 4 figures.


They do that sort of "value" so well,


That said all things equal, as of tomorrow, our familly income goes up 50%, it's like being a banker except that what we do adds value to society.
