As a support worker more of my supports ate being cancelled due to social distancing regulations. I am finding that only priority supports are going ahead. In time I am concerned we well only be allowed to enter a certain amount of homes which will drop wages drastically.
I also don’t understand why unemployed had payments doubled to stay at home yet those of us on the front line essential services get nothing to put our lives at risk.
