Don’t tarnish frontline staff

I am a frontline staff member of the CRC. I am passionate about my work and care very much about the rights of children and adults with special needs, so much so that I have completed a Masters outside work hours and research to benefit CRC service users with minimal monetary support.
When requesting some remuneration for travel expenses related to presenting research at an international conference, I was informed that due to budgetary constraints there would be no monetary support, other than the conference registration fee. I accepted this as I was proud to represent the CRC which, as a day-to-day organisation, is a great one, due to excellent frontline staff and the service users that never cease to inspire me.
