Council for Disabled Children

The Council for Disabled Children is part of the National Children’s Bureau family. They are the umbrella body for the disabled children's sector with a membership of over 300 voluntary and community organisations and an active network of practitioners that spans education, health, and social care. As a membership body, they provide a collective voice that champions the rights of children, young people and their families, and challenges barriers to inclusion. 

As a collective, they believe that the views of disabled children and young people are vital to the development of an inclusive society and that they have the right to be heard and actively participate in decisions that affect them. They believe that every child and young person should enjoy the same rights and opportunities as others, and that every aspect of society should be fully inclusive to disabled children and young people.
