We have put together a report detailing some of the feedback we have been hearing. We heard from a range of people and have feedback relating to the experiences of parents of children with ASD, as well as adults who are having difficulties when trying to access support.

Older Peoples’ Forums exist in almost every District of Kent. Funded by KCC and supported by EK360, they reach over 2,000 older people in Kent each year. Covid has made it much harder for the Forums to physically meet as they would normally, but it hasn’t stopped them listening and engaging with people and working to make a positive change. We have put together a handy document that tells you all about what the Older People's Forums have been up to recently, as well as some things to remember when contacting your local Forum.

Today we have published a report detailing everything people have told us. “It is not easy to have OCD during a pandemic. It is less easy to have OCD and to not have stability with medication” ‘I am at home alone with my three small children so I’ve have had to stop my medication. I am unable to safely care for my children or to drive whilst taking it. I have had no help with resolving my issues which are caused by the medication’ “I called several times to let them know that I needed some more medication. Nobody got back to me so my medication ran out. On Monday they called to say it was ready to collect but when I got there the pharmacy didn’t have any. I was without medication for 7 days.” We’ll be sharing everything you told us directly with the right decision makers.
