Hi Andy
I vaguely remember hearing something about this software on 'In Touch' a
good few months ago. From what I remember, the program in its original
design was inaccessible, and there was concern that the visually impaired
social workers in Glasgow would lose their jobs as a result. However,
someone from RNIB wrote some scripts for the package to make it work with
JAWS. Of
course there are still plenty of things that could go wrong - if you don't
have the version of Carefirst or of JAWS that the scripts were designed
for
then you may hit problems! Does your new employer have any experience of
working with visually impaired people? Perhaps that are already aware of
the c that have been made.

Hi Hugh.
Care First is the software which all of the Social Work Departments in
Scotland are currently using. It contains everything that a social
worker
would need in terms of completing community care assessments,
correspondence, case notes etc. My new employer is of the view that I
will
be able to link up my own computer to the internal system and use jaws to
access the software, wishful thinking. However, I have no experience of
this software so may be wrong.
Best wishes.
Andy
