Speaking Out Briefing No.17: Children, young people and disability
Issues around equality and human rights are becoming increasingly prominent in policymaking today. Disability is frequently included in legislation and policy documents as an area that needs to be covered to ensure that all children and young people have the same rights and access to services. This paper sets out the current policy and legal context around children and young people, disability and the children and young people’s voluntary and community sector (CYPVCS). It gives case studies of good practice currently taking place in the CYPVCS and considers possible implications for the sector.
