Not a shock as I suffered 18 months of this by a senior Nurse. Appalling Trust.

Are things really improving for the LD population? How many more disgusting services will be discovered? Do some Commissioners, NHS, Social Care really know what they are doing? Are our Social Workers, NHS visiting these services and monitoring them?

I’m an ex starter presenter for state of mind sport 15 years ago and now on my own, one of their speakers tried pinching work from me whilst I’d just had my brain tumour removed at Salford Royal, so I left…..I’m now 18 months on and better than I was at teaching people to recognise MH issues and great ways to deal with problems , I also deliver short talks on Anger Management, Resilience and Worklife Balance, I have two amazing ladies delivering MHFA 2 day courses and MHFA resilience half day courses. I’ve just opened my personal website DannySculthorpe.co.uk , if it’s something you need for your business please get in contact asap as business is flying around Europe and I’m so lucky I love my job xx
After 27 years of being a proud LDnurse I have decided to leave nursing. Sadly my experiences over the past few years have just left me empty and its time to step away. I have net so many great people and had a good career and I look forward to the future 😃

Please sign this. The slashing of this essential lifeline for adopted children and their families is immoral!
After experiencing this, it is so easy to see how things can move an organisation into a toxic culture.
