Name: Shannon Cooper

Achievement: Independent Support Worker

Year of leaving school: 2011

I left Canon Lee in 2011 with no intentions of being a private support worker for disabled  adults. I have now got 10 clients and a few more coming in. I’ve known the girl in the photo since she was very young. She was in a car accident which involved her car being taken off the road. She’s been left with brain injuries and had a spinal injury to her lower spine. When I first saw her again she was in  a wheelchair and now with a bit of help she’s getting her strength back in her legs and her spine is slowly correcting.
