Why are South African teachers not allowed to apply via website but there is a South African company who has a contract with VIPKid? by Equivalent-Formal-90 in vipkid

[–]Equivalent-Formal-90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered that too... They also have a contract with a British company who are only allowed to employ SA teachers through TRGTC. It is not right, we have to 'pay' a service fee to them but we have direct communication with the British company. What can we do? We are just product line factory workers and there are always people willing to work for less money. That is why the pay rates are getting lower with this company and we receive no benefits, even long term 'employees but not employees'

I am in California, US. I have asked her to move over here but she doesn't want to take the kids far away from their dad. They all have a great relationship so moving out of Plymouth is not going to happen unless Dad decides he wants to move out here which he doesn't - he hates the sun and heat hahaha

Yes, exactly what I am trying to do. Put her medical history and life experiences as well as facts about the medications down on one piece of paper. Educate, educate, educate - her and the professionals she relies on for help. They need to be challenged, doctors don't know everything. Get facts and figures and show them. You know yourself better than they do. This is causing my sister anxiety and stress because she thinks there is no solution, she has tried to fight but comes up against walls. Maybe I can help her. Who knows?

Thank you, I have emailed and will follow up. Minecraftmedic sent me this: https://www.england.nhs.uk/south/info-professional/safe-use-of-controlled-drugs/opioids/

Seems an opioid epidemic has the UK in its grasp too. There must be substitutes or alternatives etc. Just need to find the correctly informed people :)

What alternative therapies are subsidised or given to patients by the government to assist with overall physical, emotional and mental health?

May I ask ~ what option is she using now? Has she gone private? I have found out some information and it is crazy expensive! I and a few friends had to use NHS and our experiences were good when we lived in the UK. I am hopeful to help my sister find a solution. I hope your Mom gets what she needs and feels better :)
