The Council for Disabled Children – Inboxes for parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities

The Council for Disabled Children (CDC), at the Minister’s request, has launched two new email inboxes aimed to answer questions, collate resources and share information on Coronavirus and the impact on children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

The new ‘CDC questions’ inbox provides the opportunity to ask questions about how coronavirus will impact on children and young people with SEND

CDCquestions@ncb.org.uk

The ‘CDC resources’ inbox, CDCresources@ncb.org.uk is designed to enable parent carers, sector professionals and practitioners to share resources, to support families of children and young people with SEND and practitioners across the disabled children’s sector. The CDC will add these resources to their COVID-19 Support and Guidance webpage, which can be found on the link below.
