Important Alert:
A concerning investigation has been launched into reports of unlicensed and dangerous stem cell procedures being marketed as a cure for autism. Authorities warn these treatments offer no benefits and pose severe risks to children.

Autism is a part of who a person is; it does not need a cure. We urge all families to stay informed and only trust reliable, safe medical advice from established sources like the NHS and recognized autism organisations.

Your child's safety and well-being are paramount. Let's protect our community together.

Unpaid carers across the UK are facing an unexpected challenge—repaying thousands in benefits they were unaware they owed. Many, like Gina and Andrea, juggled part-time work with caring, only to find out years later that they had unknowingly surpassed the earnings limit for Carer's Allowance. Now, they're shouldering heavy debts on top of their caregiving responsibilities.

It's crucial to discuss how these debts affect carers' lives and what changes are needed to prevent such distressing situations in the future. Do you think there should be more transparent communication from authorities? Or perhaps a complete overhaul of how the earnings limit is implemented?

Join the conversation over at We Talk Care and share your thoughts or personal experiences. Your voice can help shine a light on the real impact of these policies and push for a system that genuinely supports carers, not penalizes them!
