The TreeHouse Parent Participation Project (PPP) held their first e-seminar today, ‘Ensuring sustainability for disability’ with various people taking part and asking questions. The two speakers for the event were Steve Broach (a Disability Rights Lawyer) and Stan Taylorson (a manager of Children’s Services in South Tyneside) who answered a number of questions about the sustainability of services for children with disabilities and their families going into 2011.
The public are being asked to vote on suggestions for spending via the HM Treasury. There are hundreds of links for disability, autism, education, health, short breaks and voluntary groups.
Deb & Dave Hart comment that “after months of planning we went to the conference feeling very unsure and not knowing what to expect, scared that not many people would turn up, but to my delight we had standing room left only! What a great success.
Over 30 key decision makers across England took part in the ‘Walk in Our Shoes’ event last week including Ministers, MPs, Councillors and senior local authority and PCT representatives.
