Exams and placements

[liz2mac]

I've been thinking again about all of our young people who are at the examination stage of education and onwards from there to obtaining places at further education and then placement s and finally employment. PAD's are so little known about that our children and young people suffer discrimination from educators who do not understand that they are covered by the Discrimination Act. It makes me so sad to hear the stories of parents battling to try to get the schools to understand that, yes, these kids will have more time off sick than is considered normal and yes there is a valid reason for it. This can continue on into further education and I personally am SO proud of our youngsters who make it despite all the odds. We'll be publishing material about this as soon as we can on the UKPIPS website. Meanwhile, well done all of you who don't feel well, but go to school, college, university anyway. Well done for putting the effort into your studies when your bed is most definitely calling you!
I'm thinking of you all, but in particular I'm thinking of Sam and wondering how he has done and I'm thinking of Steve O'Neill's brother. Good luck all of you.
