Following a three year battle with a stress related illness I am finally being put out to grass and today retire on the grounds of ill health. I am one of a select group of Assessors within DAS who have experienced this ill health phenomenon and curiosity begs me to ask is this a common occurrence within the profession? If so then what measures of support do other centres offer?
Other burning questions to mull over is:
Is it really possible to assess the needs of 21 students in a week?
If so is this a record? (not one I can claim fame to)
No doubt I will be removed from this list ASAP and will not be able to read any replies but can I take this opportunity to say goodbye to all those I have worked with and wish you all health and happiness.
