connexions

I read with horror in our local newspaper that "connexions" in our area is to close at the end of this month.
Connexions is run by the local council to help youngsters access work or college.
What on earth is going on !!! is there to be nothing left for help ,support and information.
When my daughter was leaving school we had some input from our connexions branch ,although her complex needs did mean there was little help that could be channelled in our direction I am only too aware that young adults who could with P.A support were helped to access college courses and other work placements.
Lets hope soon there will be good news to write and talk about.
