Help us shape new information resources for families raising disabled children and young people in Scotland

Family Fund, Contact and Differabled Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Government, are hosting an event for parent carers of disabled children and young people to hear about a new resource developed by the Scottish Government ( Supporting Disabled Children Consultation Document).  We want to hear your views on how it can be developed to achieve its aims of:

  • giving people all the information they need to understand the law and find the help and support options that are available across Scotland
  • being a first step towards putting all this information in one place and making it available and accessible to all

Places are limited. To register your place visit Family Fund Events.  Bookings close on Thursday 16 August.

If you have any questions please email comms@familyfund.org.uk.
