The vision behind Aiming High for Disabled Children is for all families with disabled children to have the support they need to live ordinary family lives.
To deliver this vision, Aiming High for Disabled Children has three priority areas:
Access and empowerment
The national expectations in the Core Offer will help make services more accessible. Children, young people and their families will be actively involved in the planning and delivery of services in their local area.
Responsive services and timely support
All professionals responsible for planning services for children, both locally and nationally, will focus on the services disabled children and young people need, particularly at key life stages such as the early years and in transition to adulthood.
Improving quality and capacity
Significant new funding has been allocated to the services families want and need, in particular short break services which families have described as their key priority.

The young people have worked really hard setting up this forum with the support of Lancashire Young People’s Service and The Powerful Voices Network.

We ran 2 joint events for young people to decide the name of the forum, when it should meet, how often it should meet and where it should meet. The young people decided that the forum will be called Together We Can!

The main aim of the Lancashire forum is to feed young disabled people’s issues, views, oppinions and ideas into the youth parliment meetings to then carry on up the ladder, but it is also about meeting new people, having fun and learning new things.
