following about their concerns on report- ing issues: “Number one would be, will I get people into trouble and number two, will I be looked on differently by the ser- vice. Will I get as much?” Another participant echoed these sen- timents: “And then I remember someone said, you had better watch, they could send her back to you, you know.” A second participant spoke of their fears: “You are always afraid to take on the service for fear that you are going to be penalised… that there may be a knock on from challenging the service.” This partici- pant found a way to get an issue addressed and said: “I have always gone to the top. There is no point going through this, I go straight to the [top] person here.” Conclusion Families have to navigate the landscape of disabilities without a road map or sign- posts. They also have to fight for services for their relatives and yet they recognise that they are dependent on the service provider. Families need information in a timely manner and this study highlighted a clear lack of engagement with families by the services. The depreciation of the disabilities budget since 2008 has been felt across the board by
that as this was now national policy and their relative would be moving to a com- munity service. The safety and security of residential care was now being taken away from them. The loss of the service they knew, the relationships that they had developed with the dedicated staff mem- bers and the trust that they had built over the years was suddenly going to be taken away. Just as these family members had found a service they were happy with, they were on the battle field again. A participant whose son had complex needs said: “He is likely to dart across the road” and “he needs to be in a centre with walls around him for his own safety”. Another family member said that her relative was going to be put on a housing list, but nobody could tell her where this was going to be. The families spoke about their frustration at times when advocating on behalf of their relative or having issues addressed. Issues of concern Some families highlighted difficulties they encountered when they needed issues addressed. Some of the participants did not want to make a complaint as they were afraid that it would affect the service they required. One participant said the
people with intellectual disabilities, their families and staff. Everyone is trying to do more with less and this has put huge strain on the care that can be offered. This study clearly highlights that there is a recognised need for improvement in communication and a greater level of engagement with fam- ilies at local and national level.
