A vocabulary resource, How It Is, which will enable better communication with disabled children about their needs, rights and feelings, including concerns about abuse, has been launched by the National Society for the Protection of Children (NSPCC) and Triangle, an organisation that works closely with disabled children, their families and the disability movement.
The images were designed by Tri-angle to be used as a flexible, child-centred resource, relevant for everyone involved with disabled children or children with language difficulties - parents, social workers, childcarers, police, teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, nursing and medical staff. It will also help police and social workers undertaking child protection investigations to better understand what disabled children wish to tell them.
