I've felt the effects of the cuts already (well my son did anyway, it stung apparently)
The lEA has had its transport budget slashed, because of this the older, experienced escorts/drivers have gone and the cheapest option brought in. People who are driving extremely vulnerable children and haven't got a clue about them.
As a direct consequence of this, my son ( who had got stressed and tried to pull the escorts glasses off ) was dragged off the bus and slapped. We know he was slapped, as does his school and even the lady from the LEA agreed and yet nothing is being done.
This beast woman was so interested in the children under her care that after a month they didnt even know her name.
She probably didnt know my son could speak (she looked extremely shocked when she realised he could )
This is happening up and down the country vulnerable people paid with low paid workers who arent monitored and don't give a shit about the people under their care. I see them repeatedly when i'm out, some poor sod slumped in a wheelchair with a drink placed just out of their reach whilst the 'carer' sits proudly in her uniform, flicking through a magazine or texting.
On Monday I had to listen to the mother of a child from school sing her sons respite carers praises all along knowing that every Saturday she takes him to the sn session at softplay, chats to her mate on the phone and after roughly 15 minutes will haul the poor child out because SHE wants a drink and snack in the cafe 
and yes we have followed her, so not only is the poor child being totally ignored, he is being dragged away from playing, forced into his wheelchair and carted down to the cafe to watch her fill her face. 
Shiny Dave, YOU sir, are a twat.Fact.
