Drivers licence at times is already challenging for young people and these restrictions cause young people in care to have a 'whats the point' attitude.

]]> Mon, 6 Apr 2009 04:09:31 UTC 5237366 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5237033?utm_medium=rss Children in care must be afforded the same rights as every other young person!

]]> Mon, 6 Apr 2009 02:03:04 UTC 5237033 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5237008?utm_medium=rss Young people in care are disadvantaged in so many ways. Access to a drivers license is useful for vocational reasons but also because it is a means of safety for very vulnerable young people.

Normally a Y.P has many family members to call upon who can offer driving time for learner drivers. Sadly our Y.P in care often do not have access to a family network of support who are safe role models to be around. The petitioned issue is just one of the many hurdles faced by Y.P in care today and therefore I strongly urge the government to offer assistance as outlined in the petition above

Licensed Care Services and Foster Carers may not be able to support yp in meeting driving hours required due to risk managment for other children in care who may also require access to transport.

]]> Sat, 17 Jan 2009 05:07:11 UTC 4795542 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4794162?utm_medium=rss Please help keep our kids alive and provide a safer road system for all users. Kids who are in care or have been in care need help to get their licenses. Try getting 100 hours of driving experience when no one in your house is qualified or interested enough to help you, or getting lessons around the $50- an hour mark while you are either on the dole or get no money at all. Very unfair.

It is only fair that arrangements be made for young people, who may already have experienced a degree of disadvantage, to have fair access to this program.

These kids have been through tremendous difficulties and deserve to achieve the same goals as other youth but currently do not have the means to do so.

]]> Sun, 4 Jan 2009 04:58:07 UTC 4726529 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4719988?utm_medium=rss I understand the seriousness of the government bringing in tough laws, but only several years ago it only cost $20.00 per hour for a driving lesson. Everyone seems to be getting richer in this deal and the kids that need to do their 100 hrs are suffering.

]]> Fri, 2 Jan 2009 07:07:58 UTC 4719988 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4710799?utm_medium=rss The department needs to start providing for all the needs of children and young people, not just the ones they choose, otherwise, they shouldnt be taking kids into care. Its about time they pulled there socks up and provided for these kids, they deserve every opportunity, and the department is failing at this.

I can't describe how time consuming and expensive this has been. But thats just one down and 4 more to go. Our cso has informed us that they may be cutting driving lessons from transission from care as she says their is no money anymore. Why must these wonderful young people be so disadvantaged.
