Did You Know That Carers Dont Get Concessions At College/Uni Anymore?

[fio2]

We have to pay for fee's. Apparently the government abolished concessions for carers of people who are disabled over 3 years ago.

i am quite disgusted tbh

well not that any of you are interested !

but you do get concessions for short time courses, but not full time courses i have found

I didn't realise you could in the first place Fio!

I'm interested Fio2! Didn't see it before.

That is crap. Presumably it is to make sure you stay at home looking after your child with SN and therefore saving them an absolute bloody fortune .

Are you thinking about doing a course?

I am doing some short courses now, after christmas

pottery and ceramics, monday
Glass painting, tues
Embroidery, wednesday
Patchwork and quilting, thursday

and some other stuff on saturdays

think i have gone over the top! need something to do whilst ds is at nursery. Wanted to do an access course buit I cant get help with the course fees and on top of childcare it would be too expensive, so I am waiting til he starts school

sorry to bore you all!

Short courses/part time you get 40% off

obv ds doesnt go to nursery on a saturday! but my lovely husband should be here!!!!!

Wow - sounds great. Are you going to have any free time?!!

All sounds great and very busy. One concern though.... how will you have time for MN anymore?!?

no not really!! spare time will be spent on the train or bus!

i wont have time for mumsnet, that is my aim
