Kanangra Part 3

The plot thickens with DADHC. They will not admit Sue to Kanangra where she can get access to all Kanangra's programs and counseling services because of DADHCs no admission policy into institutions. So here is their brainwave, house Sue and Sue’s staff in a condemned building on the Kanangra site. That way "she is in a secure facility but not actually admitted. Everybody’s happy Julie” her case worker said to me.

They do not intend to fix the upstairs of the building that has rotten floorboards which is why the building was condemned. No, instead, and in keeping with true DADHC form, they propose to just close off the staircase leading to the upstairs floor.

Might sound reasonable. But if the flooring is bad enough to be considered an O.H.S issue for staff which resulted in the building being closed how does DADHC think they are going to get round this? Also if the floorboards are rotten what sort of condition are the supports in? I can see the headlines now, ID client and staff killed when floorboards collapsed at DADHC run facility.

This really does highlight just how little DADHC think of Sue's safety to even consider housing her in a condemned building.

What is wrong with these people? I do wonder how they would feel if I was the worker and they were the family member and I suggested housing like this for their sister. It also show that DADHC do not care about workers safety either.

I know Sue needs housing and that it has to be a secure facility, but it also has to be safe and a condemned building does not sound safe to me.
