'I had no idea about the level of demand placed upon some carers by children with often very challenging and extremely complex support needs'
Since being elected, last May, I have had the absolute pleasure to meet a number of hardworking, gifted and inspirational people, who strive and work tirelessly for others in our city.
At the beginning of the month, I attended the inaugural Glasgow City Foster Care Summit. That was a rather grand title for a get-together of foster carers across the city. It provided me with a chance to meet with others and share views and experiences; in what is often a very isolating role. However, even I had no idea about the level of demand placed upon some carers by children with often very challenging and extremely complex support needs. Their roles are 24/7 and all year round.
Reclaiming fuel expenses is burdensome with one carer telling me they are having to wait two months to reclaim fuel costs.
