What we want the government to do

What we asked for

Welsh Assembly Government’s response
Bullet Point Significant additional resources for disabled children over three years - at least £21 million (2008–09, 09-10 and 10-11)

WAG have announced a funding package of approx £10 million over three years for Inclusive Play, Short breaks, Early Support Materials, Changing Places Facilities and a Benefit Uptake campaign.

DCMW welcomes the progress made but this is not the long term funding package needed to transform services on the ground.

Bullet Point Clear and strong leadership from WAG on its existing commitments

We Are On The Way A policy agenda to transform the lives of disabled children and young people

"We Are On The Way" has helped raise the profile of disabled children and young people but is not the comprehensive plan DCMW were looking for to deliver real change for disabled children and young people across Wales.

Bullet Point A specific focus on the implementation and delivery of it's policies for disabled children and young people

The Rights Into Action Task Group for Disabled Children and Young   People
