Long, long surgery at Hornsey Library. Always fascinating – always draining. Tales of misery of families torn apart by Home Office decisions that would break your heart; housing problems with four in a room; benefits cock-ups that end with eviction because Haringey loses applications – even though client has proof of posting; a young woman with a disabled child comes to tell me of the dreadful lack of support given to those with disabilities and the rude and unhelpful treatment they get; a young man with autism receives cuts and bruises while in respite care – and his family cannot get any appropriate explanations of why. So many battles to fight!
