An exploration of the UK unpaid carer's world

Email to AC - 6 Aug 2015       


Dear Ann


Thank you so much for your time..  Somewhat more precious than my retirement time.

Yes, your email makes a lot of sense and reflects our conversation.

There are two pages to forward to your colleague.  Key text on the pages is as follows:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

1   The reasons for including a BILD page on this website include introducing it to readers who have not met it.

     The page is here.  Back-up URL - http://carerworld.yolasite.com/bildhome.php
 
2   There is a piece from your website which begins:

                People with learning disabilities

                WHAT DO WE ALREADY KNOW 
                about older people with a learning disability and their needs? 
                Here are some key facts ((( numbered to aid referencing))):

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

One way of forwarding the pages we discussed is to paste the text between the  + + + + + + + lines into an email. The URLs are there as the here  links sometimes don't work if the recipient is new to this website.

Another way of forwarding the pages we discussed is via the BILD navigation page.   The advantage is gaining overview of all the pages.    The two pages are highlighted in red. here

3   ‘Singing for the brain’

Here's what I've said:

In discussing the situation with only a few in the field, the reaction is "  Why are you going to such lengths?  Have you (ergo - why haven't you?) heard of "Singing for the Brain" ? ".  "Yes thanks" (and let's talk about something else.).  It's for closer-to-normal people as the video here makes clear.  Another video makes the point even more.  If I could achieve arm-swinging, never mind in time with the music,  with "my" group it would be more than a breakthrough.  video  The participants can communicate and some are accompanied by spouse etc .

In context - Item 6.1  -
