Yesterday I said goodbye to a second brother due to addiction. Our family is distraught. I began my social care degree because I wanted to help others in this area. @DBScollege royally f*cked that up this year. These private colleges like many other businesses care more about €

In a country crying out for support in this area and other areas in social care, this should have NEVER happened. #socialcare #addiction #fuckdbs #fuckaddiction
I was due to begin my work placement in the area of addiction. I'm now still waiting on confirmation from @DBScollege and #QQI about a transfer to another college because their social care degree is no longer being run due to withdrawing their application with @CORUIreland
Meeting with @DBScollege update. They are in talks with colleges with colleges re transfers. Can't guarantee part time. Can't guarantee time, can't guarantee using 2 years learning. They are in talks about refunds. Can't give guarantee when this will be issued to students.
Asked will we know this week re refunds and transfers. Can't guarantee. Asked will receive communication this week. Yes, that QQI have pulled the course with DBS. @SimonHarrisTD @DonnellyStephen @IrishTimes @WicklowPeople @eastcoastfm
I'm about to have my individual meeting with @DBScollege with their solutions and offers about MY future. Not feeling too hopeful #socialcare #maturestudent @SimonHarrisTD
Updates to follow ....

@DonnellyStephen @SimonHarrisTD @CORUIreland we can not rely on @DBScollege to fix this, we need a viable solution, transfer us to an accredited college. Don’t let our hard work and time go to waste , our country needs solutions to lack of social care workers, we are it!!

Oh and eh, time....bags of that. Sure fuck it, I'll defer....#notachance @DBScollege also, for no good reason. Still not going to be CORU accredited. @CORUIreland @SimonHarrisTD
Sure @DBScollege ......I'll throw away another few grand your way...for no good reason ....sound
So, this is the solution.... I DID NOT sign up to a 4 year degree to go the grandparenting route. This does not allow me to progress in my career @DBScollege @SimonHarrisTD. Disgusted and very angry
Tune into @rtenews @6pm to hear from DBS social care students (including a little bit from me) ahead our meeting with @DBScollege
Within the same week of hearing that my 2 years of hard work with @DBScollege will count for nothing, this comes in the post. #socialcare #coru @CORUIreland #shameonyoudbs @SimonHarrisTD
There better be some solid solutions tomorrow. I am 41, a mother of 4, working in social care as a HCA. I need this to progress in my career. @CORUIreland @SimonHarrisTD @rteliveline @joeliveline
Imagine this yearly invoice per year...of a 4 year degree from 80 students. And it is worthless. I got this invoice the week I got the news my 2 years of hard work were never going to recognise me as a social care worker. Shame on you @DBScollege
