Running a business in Wales? Is Corporate Social Responsibility part of your operating culture? If yes, what does your response to CSR look like?

Please help. Earlier this week, I visited Parliament with some brilliant parent campaigners. They were there to speak to the Disability Minister and MPs about how to make life more affordable for families with disabled children. Their message was clear. - Make it easier for carers to work, by providing good school support and childcare for disabled children. - Value unpaid care more highly in the benefits system. - Give every parent carer a benefits check, and train DWP staff better. - End the injustice of families being locked out of their own savings. - Put families with disabled children - who live in some of the poorest housholds in Britain - at the heart of the government's child poverty strategy. We can and must do better. If you agree, please consider supporting our lifeline appeal. This week, your donations will be doubled, and that means we can support more amazing parent-led campaigns like this one, and give families the specialist financial information and advice they need. https://lnkd.in/eBdJPEHc

Sadly, each year, many families who have children with SEND are locked out of their own savings such as Junior ISAs or Child Trust Funds. Financial Advisers can help more families with disabled children avoid this trap by: 👉 Identifying SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) individuals within the family EARLY in the advice process 👉Understanding the implications of savings held in a SEND young person's name, once they turn 18 (it comes down to Access, Risk and Means-tested benefits) 👉Educate and guide families around these issues so that they can make an informed decision about whether to save, how to save and how to avoid the traps. Thank you to Anna Bird and Contact for helping to bring this important issue to the forefront of people's minds. #SEND #Disability #specialeducationalneeds #EHCP #SENDfamily #SENfamily #financialadvisers

The fourth point in this list by Anna Bird financial advisers should be aware of. It is crucial. Financial advisers can help more families with disabled children avoid the trap of being locked out of Junior ISAs or Child Trust Funds. My three key asks would be that we: 👉 Identify SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) individuals within the family EARLY in the advice process 👉Understand the implications of savings held in a SEND young person's name, once they turn 18 (it comes down to Access, Risk and Means-tested benefits) 👉Educate and guide families around these issues so that they can make an informed decision about whether to save, how to save and how to avoid the traps. It is often a rude shock for parents when a child turns 18 to find out that they cannot access savings. It's a rude shock because parents are not aware of the implications. Let's build this into the advice process. SENDA
