EDCM Local Authority Charter
English Local Authorities can get involved in the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign by signing up to the EDCM Local Authority Charter. The Charter, produced with the support of Children Now magazine, encourages local authorities to commit to providing a range of services for disabled children and their families by January 2008, and also to addressing the needs of disabled children in their strategic planning and local area agreements.
63 English Local Authorities are currently signed up to the charter. These include six of the areas covered by the Parent Support Project - Ealing, Lambeth, Lincolnshire, Oldham, Poole and Staffordshire. We are delighted that Ealing Local Authority has committed to the charter, as it represents an important step in championing the rights of both disabled children and their families. We are encouraging parents in the remaining four groups to contact their local authority to sign the charter, and push for its successful implementation within their area.
Thank you for all your ongoing efforts, and good luck with your constructive campaigning!
