A blind teenager was left at a bus stop alone when his disability support worker didn't show. Photo / 123RFA blind teen boy's life was put on the line after a disability care coordinator left him alone at a bus stop. The disability service conducted an internal investigation, which found that the scheduled support worker had advised the care coordinator that he would be unable to attend the shift. While the disability service was not found in breach, Wall considered that valuable learning could be taken from the case. She advised that the disability service provide HDC with an update on changes taken to improve systems for arranging relief support workers.
