Statement from the Social Worker:
I am a Social Worker and my role includes completing assessments for young adults with complex lifelong conditions. I need to access a substantial amount of written information from medical reports, school reports, and other professional reports. Once this information is accessible to me via my support worker and screen reader, I then compile reports and assessments as required on my laptop using JAWS. I also have to attend meetings in various locations across the north of West Sussex County, including homes, schools, and hospitals. I require support to safely access these locations as they are unfamiliar to me. Although I use a guide dog to get to and from my workplace, it is not possible for me to safely access unfamiliar environments. Therefore, I require support from another person to facilitate this. My support worker is also required to take notes during meetings and visits. Lastly, I require support with printing, filing, post, and other administrative tasks. #J-18808-Ljbffr
