"Wow - what can I say! I’ve been at Cambian Pengwern College all morning, supporting staff for L’s healthcare needs for her first day at college. What an absolutely WONDERFUL college, with such WONDERFUL staff taking such good care of L. L has two lovely 1:1s who are very hands on and extremely caring, who have now been named “Bestie” by L.
Lots more paperwork has been completed too today, for L’s induction day and her timetable has been all set out for her. Cookery, Animal care, ILS, Essential learning, music and some work experience has been added in too, for L to work in the tuck shop, serving staff and other students, to help her with money skills and communication. L enjoyed seeing the animals this morning, including feeding two donkeys, and laughing as Terri the Turkey kept walking into the classrooms, then a lovely little walk through the woodland area, singing “We’re going on a bear hunt”.
I left L to come home, but I am very relaxed, knowing L was very happy and safe, and she will be home about 4:30pm."

"Mum describes you all there as “incredible” she cannot get over the quality of support for LD and how happy she is with you all there, lovely to hear – mum said that staff are going the extra mile and checking LD is ok if she hasn’t had a good day, and communicating with Alder Hey to support LD to prepare for her operation, mum is blown away by the care and support LD has."
