Re: if you can change one thing
Tue 12 Jun 2007 16:27Had a look on the link but couldn't find the section for Carers.
If I could change one thing it would societies "head in the sand" attitude.
Because if that changed more pressure would be put on the Government to improve its services for the people needing care and their Carers.The general public tootle along unaware that at some point there is a high chance of them being one or the other, Carer or carerd for.

Tue 12 Jun 2007 20:43If you could change one thing....
The Every Disabled Child Matters (EDCM) campaign is currently working on a new briefing called 'If I could change one thing'. Over to them:"This briefing will allow parents and children and young people to tell MPs, Government Ministers and key decision makers directly what they think needs to change.
So - we need to know from all our parent supporters and young supporters - What would YOU change for disabled children and families?
We are keen to capture as many views as possible from all our different supporters and particularly want to get views from as many children and young people as possible. So please do ask your children, families and young people that you know to let us know what THEY would like to change. We are very keen to receive comments or views from all disabled children and young people in any format - including pictures, photos or drawings.
Do you work with children, young people or parents? If so we would be delighted if you could let them know about 'If I could change one thing...' and ask them to feed back their views to us directly. Or perhaps you are aware of existing projects or research that have gathered similar information from parents and children? If so we would love to hear from you and feed through these views into our "If I could change one thing..." publications where appropriate.
The deadline for responses is Friday 22nd June 2007. Please send your answers to info@edcm.org.uk or you can post your answers to EDCM, c/o Council for Disabled Children, 8 Wakley Street, London, EC1V 7QE.
More information about the 'If I could change one thing...' project is at:
