Hi Katie, just so you understand, caranuas internal complaints procedure is merely window dressing, i have tried to engage with caranua along with many others on our issues for years now, the complaints have never been…

Read the appling for services pdf,

On my first reading sounds even more complex with extra quotes being required also some very heavy handed statements in there.

Whats your thoughts.

• That we should go tender for preferred suppliers for all services
•  That aggression at outreach events is not acceptable and that they should be discontinued if this is the general experience

On point one if they are looking for suppliers to provide all services to survivors, this would be completely unacceptable to…

Remove Mary Higgins from caranua.

Employ survivors to help survivors.

Burn the current guidelines, put a video of this on website and replace with a simple phone call like this, what can caranua do for you today that would make a real difference in your life. See its real easy to help people if thats your true intention.

Apologise to all survivors for the abuse and discrimination carried out by caranua todate.

Refuse to take your wages from the fund and return to…

Wonder whats in store for us this time. Michael

Any survivor who was refused housing support because they live in private rented housing has been discriminated against, the bulk of the fund is spent on housing.

Caranuas payment process which only deals with service providers and refuses to pay the grant to survivors themselves, as they deem us not capable or not trustworthy to handle this ourselves is a breach of our human…

The key functions of the RISFB as defined in the Act include:

The payment of grants to former residents in order that they may avail of approved services, which include; mental health services, health and personal social services, educational services and a housing support service. It will also promote understanding, among persons involved in the provision of approved services and publicly available services to former residents, of the effects of abuse on former…

Hi all caranua has there customer charter, why dont we put together a charter of our own all sign it and send it in to them,

It could include stuff like,

Any possible discrimination arising from guidelines must be dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Survivors must be given the same human rights and treated in the same manner as any other group.

Lay persons \ non medical professionals cannot go against the medical advice and direction provided by a medical…

Firstly you discriminate against me, why i wonder, is it because i have a mental health issue, you know discrimination is against the law. You take years to provide me with some token help, heres me telling people that there are some good guys in caranua guess you fooled me David, to refuse a survivor dental work that is so badly needed is a scandal which you guys will have to answer for, you by virtue of your payment process regard us as subhuman again breaching our human rghts, your policy…

Heres me thinking we were getting through to them, bigger fool me, my teeth are in a pretty bad way, so needless to say im pretty upset no reason given just refused, its a low blow. Guess they dontlike itwhen you call them out over there bullshit. Well il keep fighting, ive been doing it since feb 2014 but wow,
