I’m looking for guardian

[AZ54]

Hi everyone I feel like I’m stuck in care I’m 21 but have Ld, adhd and anxiety plus depression and I also may send I want a legal guardian so I’m out of care and have more opportunities in stuff

Hi I’m sorry to hear that. You need to look at Advocacy.

Mencap have information on their site.
Do you have a social worker or an EHCP? You could ask about opportunities to meet your Aspirations at your EHCP review meeting. An advocate would help to get your wishes thoughts and feelings heard.

Look at Person Centred Planning too.

Really hope you get some help.

@24Dogcuddler OMG, I can see from your link that advocacy doesn't apply to people with LD 😱😱😱

So what happens to them???

I have a LD DC who is unable to express his wishes and no family to step in, i thought advocacy would be the fallback option - but it's not?

So what happens to people with LD ?

@YogaLite This is probably a better link.
Mencap don’t provide that service but there are others who do.

Some may be area specific.

@24Dogcuddler thank you, will check locally 🤞
