DISABILITY: Handle With Care - Young Person's Version

Summary: The Commissioner has heard from a number of children and young people with disabilities and their parents about moving and handling. The children and young people describe feeling embarassed, humiliated, undignified and excluded because of moving and handling difficulties. They say they can't take part fully in school and are unable to enjoy after school or other leisure activities. To find out more about the effect moving and handling has on children's lives, SCCYP met up with groups of children and young people and parents, as well as workers who provide moving and handling assistance.
