Hello All, I am new to your forums. I have come on here for a specific purpose.....I am needing a bit of help and advice please.
I have a deaf son who has additional learning difficulties. He is 27. He went the RSDCM at Margate and left when he was 19. Because of his added difficulties he lived under the care of an outside organisation.
He lived in Margate in this organisation's care until January when I moved him to alternative care as I was not happy at the way my son was being treated. My son was supposedly in supported living care (which in this organisation seemed exactly the same as the residential care!). They took money from him each week to help with bills, for food and travel etc and it now looks as though for the four years my son was in supported living he was financially abused. Abuse of the vulnerable is beneath contempt. I have been in dispute with the organisation since January and they just stonewall me with feeble excuses....I don't want excuses I want the money they clearly cannot account for returned to him. And the cheek of it is at the moment they still use his photograph for publicity purposes on their website. I have written to the regional manager, the CEO and even my son's MP and am getting nowhere.
In his tenancy agreement (legal and binding document) there is a clause which says they will produce accounts each year to say how the money my son has paid in will be spent. Yet when I ask for accounts they have sent me scribbled illegible pages from a day care book.
Have just noticed smilies and this is what I would like to do to the organisation concerned
:rl: but unfortunately that is not legal!!!!!!! 
Any thoughts on my next move?
I would welcome any suggestions.
Thank you for reading this thread.
