Happy New Year to you all, 2012 is an exciting New Year!
We have agreed a new Mission Statement to reflect our purpose and aims as a parent and carers group in West Sussex. "Our mission is to bring about positive change for families and young people with any additional needs or disability. We achieve this by empowering parent carers in effective participation to shape services, provide information and support."
We are also excited to be developing the previous 'Parent Carers Planning Group' to become the 'Parents Carers Action Group' which West Sussex Parents Committee Members will co-chair with Peter Evans, West Sussex Cabinet Member for Children and Families. The first meeting will be on Wednesday 1st February 2012 from 10.30am to 1pm at K2, Crawley with the focus on Transitions. We hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend these meetings when they are in your local area.
We are also looking for parents/carers to become involved in specific roles and meetings for West Sussex Parents Forum – please email or ring us to find out more and look in our Newsletter for further details. |

Parent’s Views Needed - We need your thoughts... |
|
Thursday, 22 September 2011 15:18 |

You are invited to help shape the statement around Short Breaks for Carers of Disabled Children in West Sussex. If you were not aware, from March 2011 it became a statutory requirement for the Local Authority to continue to provide short breaks for disabled children, young people and their families.
We need you to help shape the plan for these short breaks in West Sussex so we want you to be part of a workshop that is being held between parents and organisations providing short breaks.
View the workshop details.
If you are unable to make the workshop, but would like to read the statement and make a comment on our discussion board titled 'Short Breaks Statement'. |

 App launched to increase disability sports participation
The Leisure Database Company, Splashpath and DisabledGo have teamed up to create a service allowing customers to search for disability sports facilities while 'on the move'.
The new scheme aims to deliver more powerful consumer information through Splashpath, the newly launched iPhone app, about where, when and how to take part in sport combined with full disability access information on sites.
DisabledGo provides online access information to public venues across the UK and Ireland and has produced information for over 80,000 venues. DisabledGo works with local authorities, universities and colleges, NHS trusts and leisure trusts.
The free-to-use Splashpath promotes swimming through the publishing of timetables at swimming pools and already has more than 8,000 registered. |
