Moving to UK from Ireland
Hi folks I had been asking re moving to the UK from Ireland last week and everyone was so helpful, thank you! I am currently having my qualifications assessed so I can register to practice in the UK as all jobs specify you jus the registered to be considered which makes sense. I have time as my son is in his Junior Cert year (similar to GCSE) I think! So I will wait until June 2017 to leave. Does anyone currently work in Social Work in Manchester that could advise me? I have friends there and it seems a better option to go somewhere I know ppl who have made this move and are settled there. My other question is re school will my son be ok transferring to UK educational system ? I assume he will go into the first year of A level cycle? Is there a transition year between GCSE and A level? Any advice re his schooling I would greatly appreciate, also what type of wage would one need to love a decent life as a single parent of one teenager? again thanks so much to all who have already helped 😊

You probably want to post this in the MBTTUK thread rather than the rest of the world pages. It's cold and lonely over here.
