Every Disabled Child Matters

The EDCM campaign is delighted that Gary Streeter MP (Cons, Devon SW) has adopted our Disabled Children Short Breaks Bill. If the Bill becomes law, it would create a specific duty on local authorities and health agencies to provide respite care and short breaks for families providing substantial levels of care for their disabled children.

We need as many people as possible to contact their MPs in January in support of the Bill. Please could you log on to http://www.edcm.org.uk , sign up as a supporter of the campaign, and to tick the box allowing us to email them. All supporters who have ticked the box will receive emails that will contain a link to a web page where they will be able to send an email to their MP.
