The college is changing PA providers, and for the sake of 50c an hour they're going to bring someone new in for a year; meaning that after three years, they expect Michelle to go without a fight. Well, we're not gonna let that happen.

Please sign this petition, because I know we'd all be lost without Michelle for fourth year making sure we don't panic ourselves half to death.

This is about more than just a simple case of me not wanting to lose a PA. It's holding the powers that be accountable for their lack of concern with a continuity of care, and to remind them that they're dealing with peoples lives.

Michelle is as much a part of our course and our college experience as everyone else. I know that I'm not the only one who would miss her if she was replaced with a stranger.

The stories you have shared in the comments illustrate exactly why this continuity is necessary for our course. I am currently working to bring these experiences directly to the administration to demonstrate the human cost of their decision. Your persistence shows that we view this relationship as a vital part of our education rather than a simple administrative line item.

Seeing this groundswell of support confirms that the value of consistent care is understood by so many of us. It is heartening to see our community recognize that people are not interchangeable parts in a budget report.

College management are clowns. Michelle is the only reason half the group can actually function during exams. Don't ruin our final year over a few quid

How much was spent on a gym we don't need? To compensate those dicks want to remove a good person, from a job they do very well to 'save money'?

Absolute disgrace the lack of concern they show for students with disabilities and overlooking the bond that is there with a PA.
