UltraMum Report post Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) From TeacherNet ParentsCentre is hosting a webcast about issues facing parents who discover their children have disabilities or health conditions. From 16 January 2006 ParentsCentre will be showing an interview with Mark Robertson, National Advice and Information Manager at Contact a Family, on the subject of children with disabilities. There are more than 700,000 disabled children and young people in the UK. The feeling of isolation and the sheer number of questions that need answering when a parent discovers their child has a disability or health condition can be difficult to come to terms with. Mark will be answering questions on a range of subjects including entitlements to support, social services, rare disorders, childcare, locating relevant medical information, education and support groups. If you would like to submit a question to Mark, email community.parentscentre@dfes.gsi.gov.uk. Unfortunately they got the date wrong and it was 3rd January - However the webcast is still available at the Parent Centre website and there is a summary of the of the questions and answers.
