It’s almost a year since the Paralympics, and there are signs of real progress in the UK Government’s efforts to reach disabled children through their education aid programmes.
Meanwhile in September, the United Nations is hosting a rare ‘High Level Meeting’ on Disability and Development, and we want the UK to lead by example and call for all donors to ensure their aid and development efforts secure every disabled child’s right to a good education.
Ministers in the UK Government are determined to ‘Secure the Paralympic Legacy’ -This month we will be taking action to ensure that they do exactly that.
Materials included this month:
- Action sheet: Securing the Paralympic Legacy
- Background sheet 1:Â Update on Inclusive Education
- Background sheet 2:Â The Power of Paralympians
- Background Sheet 3:Â Paralympians in your area
