Disability Matters calls for evidence

Related topics: Community / Health / Partner organisations

News from our partners Public Health England

Disability Matters is partnering with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) to promote the importance of inclusion and access for all disabled children and young people aged 0 – 25 years.

They are collecting evidence and case-studies from young people with disabilities, parent carers and those who work or volunteer with people with disabilities to highlight the many positive ways that people are:

  • working pro-actively with children and young people with disabilities
  • enabling inclusion
  • making services accessible.

As a pan-disability programme they are interested in examples that relate to all disabilities, including intellectual / learning disabilities, physical disabilities, complex needs and visual or hearing impairments.

We will compile the responses to this survey in a report that will be available in the early summer of 2016.
