Guardians

Daniel said that he is going to apply to the guardianship tribunal for either an abolishment of his position or for his authority to be increase so he can push for Sues rights more. I told him the later is the only one I would agree with. I do understand that he is feeling used by DADHC as they see his role as one to lessen their responsibilities but Daniel can't or shouldn't look at it this way.

His role is for Sue and making sure that everybody else is honest and doing their job and doing what's best for Sue.

Daniel also said that the regional Director for DADHC has told the Newcastle branch that they cannot abdicate their responsibilities to their clients. That they are responsible for providing support to them.

So we will see what happen in relation to this with Sue and Newcastle DADHC.

I find the whole guardianship issue interesting. Sues last guardian, from what I've been told, did not attend one meeting about Sue, which to me shows a tremendous lack of regard for her client. How can you be acting on someone's behalf if you do nothing to find out about what is happening to them.

As for Daniel he is ringing the goal and getting information but as far as Daniel has told me he is relying on DADHC to contact him. Daniel didn't know when Sues next court date was because DADHC hadn't contacted him. I do not understand why all the organisations involved with Sue cannot communicate with each other efficiently. There seems to be a lack of general discussion between everyone which I can only see as detrimental to Sue.
