Honestly I give up.
So ds1 was awarded 2 days at a playscheme and SS said they would cut 12 hours per week out of my dp's to pay for it. This would have left me with one part day of help a week and 3 days at home with the 3 boys (need help to go out, ds1 needs constant supervision both inside and outside the house at the moment. Outside because he climbs the 8 foot fences, inside because he climbs on the windows and hits the crappy glass). It's basically a 2 person job at the moment to even function with the 3 of them home.
It gets better. There are so many children who need to access the playscheme (which takes 6 children a day) that the person who runs is has not been able to provide the number of days promised to all the children by SS. We've all had our allocation cut. (The playscheme is run for some of the most needy kids in the city).
So ds1 has one day for 5 weeks of the holiday. Leaving me with 4 days alone at home with 3 boys and no extra hands on help.
I'd arranged to work the 2 days he was at Playscheme. So that will have to be cancelled.
Lucky I don't have a proper job.
So yes I have written another letter of complaint (waste of bloody time).
