Session information
- Title:
- Working together matters
- Description:
-
Parents and carers of disabled children and young people are on a constant journey of challenge, discovery and understanding. From the first diagnosis to when the need for caring ends, parents and carers have to react quickly to the changing needs of those for whom they care as well as the frequent changes in service provision. To support families making this journey, it is vital that professionals and voluntary services work together. This session considers how this can be most effectively achieved. It will also introduce key working and show the benefits associated with this approach. A selection of national organisations will be highlighted, along with advice on locating useful sources of information and other practical resources.
The word order ‘disabled children and young people’ is used in this and all the Disability Matters sessions. This is because disabling factors are most often external to the person and are therefore something that everyone in society can do something about. - Hierarchy:
- Disability Matters > Family and Society > Working together matters
