The DCP aims to...
Raise awareness: we want to open the eyes of the public and improve the understanding of the challenges faced by families on a day-to-day basis.
Improve people's understanding: we're removing barriers to people being able to relate to the lives of disabled children, creating greater understanding, affinity and empathy for them and their families.
Campaign for change: we do this because without awareness and understanding, we cannot achieve real change. With increased awareness and public support, we can help make a difference and provide disabled children, young people and their families access to the services they are entitled to, when they need them.
