UK Disability History Month

This month is UK Disability History Month

The theme for the awareness month this year is ‘Disability, Childhood and Youth’.

The focus is on promoting the following points for the young people:-

 o To be understood, seen and heard;

o To benefit from a fantastic, ambitious education in mainstream school where possible and support at school when they need it;

o For all activities and services to be accessible;

o To receive high-quality care locally and quickly;

 o To be free from harassment and discrimination;

o For transitions to be smooth and prepare them for adulthood;

 o For services to see them as part of a family, and to take a whole family approach.
