Every Disabled Child Matters

The Family and Parenting Institute urges all our supporters to sign up to support the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign (EDCM)

We have been supporting EDCM since it launched in September 2006. Like EDCM, we want all disabled children and their families to have the right to the services and support they need to live ordinary lives.

28,000 people, including disabled children and young people, parents, professionals, disabled adults, and others working in the field, have already signed up to support the campaign. But the campaign needs this level of support to keep growing.

Campaigning by EDCM, its partners and individual supporters has already put enough pressure on government to release an additional £430million for services for disabled children and their families, alongside a programme of change that will start to transform lives.

We need even more people to sign up to EDCM, to keep the pressure on government to deliver and go further.

Please sign up using the form on the EDCM website now: www.edcm.org.uk - and ask everyone you know to do the same. If you keep the box on the sign-up form ticked, EDCM will send you updates about what you can do to help make change happen.
