Getting rights and justice for every disabled child
The government says that Every Child Matters – so why aren’t disabled children getting their rights?
• Only 1 in 13 families get support from social services
• Disabled children are 13 times more likely to be excluded from school
• 8 out of 10 families with disabled children say that they are at breaking point
“Services for disabled children and their families are a national scandal” – Sir Al Aynsley-Green, Children’s Commissioner for England.
We believe that disabled children and their families should have the right to the services and support they need to live ordinary lives. Every Disabled Child Matters is the campaign to make this happen.
They want 10,000 supporters by December. Please sign up to their campaign by visiting their website: www.edcm.org.uk.
