For all parents and carers of disabled children and young people

Is your short break service delivering all that you and your child need?

Are you starting to worry about what happens when your child leaves school?
Is school life the same for your child as everyone else's?
Would going out to work be an option if you could find the right childcare?

The fSDC liaison project was set up to bridge the gap between the good intentions of government policy and legislation and the services and support families with a disabled child receive - but they need to know more about families' experience - and importantly they need to hear parents' views on what should change and what support you would like that would make a
difference in your family's lives.

They are hosting a series of events to find out parents' views and experiences starts in Inverness on 24th March and then in Edinburgh on 31st March. More details about both events and how to register are given below. If you would like them to run a similar workshop at a carers or parents' group that you attend please get in touch. Distance no object!

Event in Edinburgh - Wednesday 31 March 10.15am to 1pm followed by lunch - McDonald rooms conference centre, McDonald Road, Edinburgh
