All children have the right to be safe and live without fear or pain. A right to learn, to develop skills, talents and abilities and a right to live a full life, without disadvantage.
Yet every day, right here in the UK, disabled and terminally ill children are failed and routinely let down because of a hidden equipment crisis. Thousands of the most vulnerable disabled children are denied equipment that could change lives. Children refused essential equipment are left to suffer in pain, their safety compromised, isolated from the world. They are repeatedly denied the chance to go to school, unable to develop vital skills for their future. While their families face insurmountable barriers in giving their child the opportunity to be the best they possibly can be.
