Disabled Children's Partnership












The Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) is an exciting new coalition of over 50 disability and children’s charities. 

We’ve come together because disabled children in England face four big challenges. There are not enough services, many of those that exist are not good enough, families cannot access them easily, and services do not always work together and communicate well with each other.

We think this needs to change, so we’ve launched a new campaign called The Secret Life of Us. As part of the campaign we’ll be sharing the experiences of disabled children and their families to raise awareness of the challenges disabled children face.

By removing the barriers to people being able to relate to the lives of disabled children, we can create improve understanding and increase empathy for them and their families.
