From Rosa Monckton’s website :
“I am organsing a seminar in the House of Commons at the end of April, with Irwin Mitchell, the solicitors. The topic is “Right to Care”. We have got parents talking about the battles they are facing to get what is right for their children, and ‘adult’ children. Esther McVey MP, Minister for the disabled, is attending, as is Edward Timpson MP, who is responsible for people with disabilities in education up to the age of 25. I hope that they will have the courage to listen, to learn and to implement the necessary policy changes.”
Rescare understands that this seminar will now take place in the Jubilee Rooms of the House of Commons on 24th April 2013. Its prospectus asserts that it will see the launch five vital documents aimed at empowering parent/carers to know and use the law, and will cover the following areas: 1. Assessing and providing services for disabled children 2. Assessing and providing services for disabled adults 3. Special educational needs 4. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 5. Failure to diagnose.
Rescare will provide further information in due course, as and when it becomes available.
