Campaign: Every Disabled Child Matters - Parents' Place

If you have a child who is blind or partially sighted, sign up to the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign (EDCM).

Why sign up?

RNIB has been supporting EDCM since it launched in September 2006. The campaign calls for all disabled children and their families to have the right to the services and support they need to live ordinary lives.

29,000 people have already signed up to support the campaign, including disabled children and young people, parents, professionals, disabled adults, and others working in the field. But the campaign needs your support to keep growing.

What the campaign has done

Campaigning by EDCM, its partners and individual supporters has already put enough pressure on government to release an additional £430million for services for disabled children and their families, alongside a programme of change that will start to transform lives.

EDCM need even more people to sign up to the campaign, to keep the pressure on government to deliver and go further.

How to join the campaign

Please sign up using the form on the EDCM website, and ask everyone you know to do the same.
