LAUNCHING THE 'CP TEENS UK PARENT/CARER VOICE' - a new online service especially for parents and carers...

CP Teens UK's focus age group for services is 10-25 years old, although children under the age of 10, as well as the whole family are very welcome and are very much encouraged to join in and get involved.

​

The Parent/Carer Voice is an online service especially for parents/carers of children from 0-years upwards with Cerebral Palsy/physical disabilities. It is not a service open to the young people that CP Teens UK supports.

​​

The Parent/Carer Voice aims to provide a supportive & friendly online space and network for parents and carers to ask questions, share experiences and connect with like-minded people.
