Session information
- Title:
- Advocacy Matters
- Description:
-
This session explains how professionals from different sectors can help achieve better outcomes for many disabled children and young people by helping to advocate on issues that are affecting the disabled child, young person or their family, or signposting to independent advocates when appropriate.
The word order ‘disabled children and young people’ is used in this and all the Disability Matters sessions. This is because disabling factors are most often external to the person and are therefore something that everyone in society can do something about. - Hierarchy:
- Children and Young People with Mental Health Needs, Autism or Learning Disability > Legal > Further Resources > Advocacy Matters
