New website to support adults working with disabled children

SEND Inclusion
A new website to support people who work with disabled children to engage confidently with them has been launched.

The ‘Disability Matters’ website features e-learning resources to support organisations, workers and volunteers across all sectors to develop the communication and problem-solving skills required to work confidently with disabled children.

Launched by the Disability Matters Consortium, a group of national organisations working together with disabled children and parent carers, and funded by the Department of Health, the site’s content covers more than 30 topics related to disability.

‘Disability Matters’ includes practical things that can be done to make a difference to the health and well-being of disabled children, and aims to challenge people to reflect upon their own attitudes and beliefs about disability.
