2nd visit house part 2

in some ways it was a pointless exercise. Nothing has been fixed/modified. The easy access into the property has not been secured. it needs to be as people can jump the fence to get into the property.

I think they forget it's not just about making sure the clients can't get out, it's also about he public not being able to get in. And they are as the property is being tagged, which doesn't bother me, but it does bother me that access is so easy onto the site. And even after having it pointed out to them it has not be fixed. It isn't hard it just needs some lattice work or something like that attached to the fence and then up under the eaves of the last unit.

Also ADHC/CJP still do not have a formal plan on what to do if this placement does not work out for Sue. Both the guardian and I are very concerned about this.

I also told Katelynd that I have real concerns about Sue accessing her day programs in the community. That she is being opened up to her being charged with assault. I get the real impression that they think they can change Sue's behaviour. That they can get her to not get angry. Good luck with that one. Because they say things like, if she hits someone, if that occurs. I'm telling you people it will occur.

And then when I get them to admit that they say stuff like "the only reason she doesn't get charged at Kanangra is because the staff choose not to." That's right. But Sue is access the community where those options are not in place. ADHC do not listen to what people say in the consultation process, and it will be Sue that will be punished for their arrogance. So I told Katelynd that if Sue ends up in front of a judge and goes to jail because she has been charged with assault then all hell will break lose.

Also ADHC still are trying to push that Sue does not have staff after 8pm. It's crap she has staff 24/7. Also they can see into Sue's space at all times. They cannot in the new house.
