Waving not drowning: Supporting carers and parents of disabled children who work or wish to work.
Janet Mearns
Working Families' 'Waving not drowning' project supports carers and parents of disabled children who are trying to combine paid work with their caring responsibilities. The project also campaigns for a better deal for carers and parents of disabled children in the workplace. Their recent survey of parents of disabled children (Summer 2009) showed that nearly 70% were not satisfied with the summer childcare available.
