Subject: Year abroad
I wonder if anyone could offer any advice on the following. We have a
student who is due to spend a year abroad as part of his course, due
to leave this september. His Social Services Department have been
providing personal care costs since the start of his course and have
been aware throughout that he will be spending a year abroad. I have
now been informed by the student that the relevant Social Services
Department are seeking legal advice as they are uncertain whether it
is possible for them to continue funding personal care if the student
is abroad. Before I contact them and wander alone in to an area of
considerable uncertainty on my part, I wondered if anyone else had met
with a similar response.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
