I'm feeling really frustrated at the moment because I can't find proper information on taking D swimming, something I'm keen to do. It doesn't have to be totally structured, but I'd hoped to be able to find out about something where other mums and babies are also at the teaching pool, and it's not all bigger kids or even toddlers.
I was just told by one pool that all courses are booked until the New Year - nothing about special sessions or anything. When can I find out about NY? From 15 December. FFS.
The Council is concerned here that the same people go round all the local groups. Well, perhaps they'd reach a wider range of people if they made it possible to find out about services any other way than talking to people at said local groups. I had to travel into Wood Green to find out about the mum and baby group round the corner from people who come from quite a way away. Grrr.
Sorry for that rant.
My sister's going to be working for a legal aid firm in South London, as she has her heart set on helping and advising refugees. Funding in this area has been slashed so there aren't a huge number of jobs in it, but my impression is that in all areas the training contract is the hardest job to land.
