This is a major flaw in the system.
If someone is medically diagnosed with a lifelong /or deteriorating condition a vast amount of money is wasted in a programme of reassessments.
There needs to be a shift to acceptance of lifelong being just that and if someone is identified at needing the highest level of support then that being confirmed forever.
The stress of unnecessary reassessment also complicates people's lives - the fear of losing the needed support etc

A new Puffin!ππ
Taken this weekend during a boat cruise around Skomer Island.π
It was very tough to take photos from a bobbing and swaying boat, but it was better than nothing as I couldn't get on the Island itself as tickets were all sold out!
Will share more soon! ππ¦
Good night and sleep tight to our smallest Nursery girls, Zuri and Kipekee. Keeper Julius arrived for lights out, but found the pair already asleep.
Little Zuri was only rescued last month. Kipekee wasn't too thrilled to share the spotlight but she's adjusting. In fact we felt so encouraged by their budding friendship we moved Kipekee's stable next door, so they can be night-time neighbours.
Zuri fell into a septic tank before her rescue and is our newest rescue. She's five months old and still vulnerable, but she's in much better condition than most that arrive in our care (so can fall asleep happily without a blanket).

Today, on his birthday, we celebrate our late Ambassador Paul OβGrady.
Paul was a passionate animal lover, an LGBT icon, and a dear friend of Battersea. He will always be remembered as a hero to us and the animals whose lives he changed. π
