On the subject of H and the nightclub, would Cheltenham safeguarding have a say in this. He has the right to socialise etc. But this is not something he could have decided to do. Surely the fact he gets tired and likes to go to bed early, dislikes lots of noise, is in a large unfamiliar building and lots of people coming at him he doesn't recognise, and the fact he is being used for financial gain surely is something they would not condone. Of course he's a right to enjoy himself and I'm sure his college organises get togethers, but in an environment sympathetic to their special needs, everything that debacle she's organising is not. And if
car wash will be there, are they aware he's up on a charge for verbally abusing H's mother. This is unbelievable the Star have not arranged a safeguarding meeting over this. You cannot sugarcoat it, he's being exploited for financial gain. I used to volunteer at a group of adults with special needs, we'd have discos in a hall that started and finished at decent times, lit properly not dark with flashing lights and we even attended a silent disco where they all had headphones with music played at an acceptable level. No one wants to deprive him and I'm sure he has plenty of social interaction at the Star.
