Text
of the Petition
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge
the Welsh Government to commit to ensuring that disabled people in Wales do not
have to wait for more than three years to receive the essential housing
adaptions/houses they need and to work with local authorities to ensure staff
dealing with adapted housing cases are adequately trained and accountable to
ensure individual needs are met.
Additional
information
Some of the Young Ambassadors at the Whizz-Kidz
Cardiff club have had long struggles to get their housing needs met. There is a
lot of inconsistency in dealing with cases and one young person in the group
has not been able to live with their parents for over 7 years while they wait
for a suitable house. We believe this is unacceptable and with more consistency
and accountability when dealing with cases and better staff training the
situation can be improved.
