Why Participate?
This consultation is a unique opportunity for parents to highlight the barriers they face in accessing childcare services and supports. Your feedback will help shape policies and programmes to better support neurodiverse children and their families.

Supporting Resources:
We also aim to provide helpful resources and supports to parents during and after the consultation sessions. If you know of any organisations or services that can be useful, please let us know so we can share them widely.

For any questions or additional information, please contact the Children’s Rights Alliance directly at:

Together, let’s make a difference in creating inclusive and supportive childcare services for every child.

Warm regards,

National Parents Council
