Members Area – Welcome!
20th August 2016.
Welcome to our new ‘members area’. This is for the exclusive use of Rescare’s membership. We decided to create this area on our website so that members could have access to back-editions of Resnews. You will initially have access to 17 past editions, dating back to Spring 2012 when we first produced our newsletter in the PDF format; future editions of Resnews will also appear here.
We also intend to expand this section during the next few months to include more information about the Care Act and other topics that can affect our members, such as Best Interests and benefits. As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions on how we could improve.

Chief Executive

Rescare members were advised of this password in a mailing in September 2016. If you have joined Rescare after that date, or have not received the password, or have forgotten it, please contact the Rescare office.
If you are not a Rescare member, one of the main benefits of membership is the receipt of (up to 4) editions of our members’ newsletter Resnews each year.
Some members have reported that on certain browsers, they are sometimes directed to an ‘Are You Humen?’ access control dialogue after which they are not redirected to the intended target (a Resnews PDF). If this happens, and you know how to, please clear your cached browsing data to resolve the problem; access to this utility varies by browser, but you are looking to clear temporary or cached internet files.

People with Down syndrome could be left to die of coronavirus to 'save' supplies metro.co.uk One of the most draconian pieces of emergency legislation just passed, allegedly because of the corona virus emergency. One care provider commented, off the record, that if the government were looking for ways to kill off the elderly and those with disabilities to save money this is proof positive.

Do join CASCAID and support Belinda Schwehr and her wonderful work. Rescare has done some of her training and contributed. She was ace when it came to an Isabel dilemma. Trustees will be discussing what we can do to unite with others to fight this appalling piece of legislation.
