Disabled Children's Partnership

Mencap is part of a group called the Disabled Children's Partnership (DCP).

The DCP is a large group of more than 130 charities and organisations who work together.

Thousands of parents and carers also support the DCP.

The DCP campaigns for better education , health, and social care support for disabled children, young people and their families.

To campaign means to try to change things or get better services.

Social care is help and support for people who need extra help because of their health, age or disability.

The DCP works to make sure disabled children get support to learn.

The DCP works to make sure children can use health services.

The DCP works to make sure families with disabled children get social care services.

The DCP wants to:

•  let people know what the difficult things are for families with disabled children

• make it easier for people to understand what life is like for families with disabled children

• make sure disabled children and their families get the help they should get when they need it.

You can join the DCP to make sure people hear what disabled children and their families want to say.
