   My dad is 73, severely disabled and terminally ill. The council gives him an amount of money  for 21 hours care a week. He uses that money to employ a carer. She comes in the week when I am working and I care for him at the weekends.
 
    There are a number of problems. She has arthritis so she can't do any substantial cleaning or shopping which I do at the weekend. Another problem is that  her English isn't very good. As a consequence I also have to deal with anything that requires good speaking or reading like making appointments etc. 
 
   Now my father can't cook for himself and can't get to the fridge. He has  to ask his carer to help. Unfortunately she can't read the dates on packets and  sometimes gives him food which is off and makes him ill. Last night she gave him salmon that was five days old and he was up all night being sick etc. I have write her lists of what food she should give him and when but she can' t understand  them either. Any suggestions? Thanks ever so much.

     INTRODUCTION. WHAT DO SOCIAL WORKERS DO?   1. READING.    a. Are women and men different in all sports? Is football different ? Shockwaves are reverberating around Spanish and world football in the wake of a kiss during the medal awards ceremony at the Women's World Cup. Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales shocked global television audiences when he grabbed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso's head and firmly kissed her on the lips. Rubiales has refused to resign, despite many calls for him to do so. Ms Hermoso said: "I believe no person, in any work, sport or social setting should be a victim of this type of non-consensual behaviour. I felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven, sexist, out-of-place act, without any consent on my part." She added: "Quite simply, I was not respected." Mr Rubiales maintains he did nothing wrong. He said the kiss was simply a spur-of-the-moment reaction due to being caught up in the emotion ...

 DISABILITIES.     Types of Disabilities In our society, people have a wide range of disabilities that can impact their everyday lives. One prevalent disability is blindness, where individuals are unable to see. These individuals rely on their other senses, such as touch and hearing, to navigate the world around them. Deafness is another disability that affects people’s ability to hear sounds, requiring them to communicate through sign language or lip reading. Mobility impairments restrict a person’s ability to move freely and often necessitate the use of mobility aids like wheelchairs. Additionally, intellectual disabilities can affect a person’s cognitive abilities, making it more challenging for them to learn and understand information. Useful Vocabulary Related to Disability Try and use the following vocabulary when answering the question.
