Focus Groups
Feedback during and after the conference in November 2008 was compiled into a report which can be viewed here. The steering group prioritised and 'grouped' issues that parents raised and set up 3 'focus groups'. These groups meet regulary and have made much progress in influencing and developing services. For more information visit the pages set up for these groups:
Short Breaks (formerly known as respite)

- Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council have developed a proposal that outlines the aims for Key Working as part of Aiming High for Disabled Children. Key Working is a service that provides children with disabilities and their families with a simple point of contact and enables them to have easy access to information, support and services to meet their needs.
