Disability Links
The Disability Links register is a voluntary register that parents and carers can elect to place their child’s name on. The register provides regular information about events, activities and support within the Blackburn with Darwen area, that children with disabilities and their parent/carers may find useful or enjoyable.
Disability Links can arrange training for parents, advocacy training, events, summer fairs and information sharing activities around service provision and new developments. An example of this is the 0-25’s Agenda.
The Disability Links Co-Ordinator is Ann Marie Pickering. The age group for inclusion on the Register is from birth to 25 years for the child/young person with a disability.
