YoungSibs - the first ever UK-wide online service for young siblings of disabled children
YoungSibs, has been launched by Sibs, the UK charity for siblings of disabled people. This unique website provides much needed information, advice and support for siblings of disabled children who are under 18. YoungSibs has a letters section for siblings to receive personalised responses to their questions as well as a safe online chat area for young siblings to talk to other young siblings in the UK moderated by Sibs' staff.
In the UK, there are over half a million children and young people who are growing up with a brother or sister who is disabled or has a life-long serious illness. Yet too often many of these children are either not identified as siblings or have their needs overlooked leading to isolation and difficulties reaching their potential.
