Website: Equality, Participation, Influence, Change – EPIC!
England: EPIC, which stands for Equality, Participation, Influence, Change, are a group of 16 young disabled people from across England who come together to advise the Government on the SEND reforms in the Children and Families Bill.
EPIC's new website provides information about their work, and opportunities for disabled children and young people to have a say in national policy development: www.councilfordisabledchildren.org.uk/EPIC
The website, which was designed with input from the group, will provide updates on EPIC's work, news stories, important resources and opportunities for other disabled children and young people to get involved in influencing the Children and Families Bill through the EPIC Facebook Page.
The website was being launched with an interview conducted by 2 EPIC members with Children's Minister, Edward Timpson MP. The Minster faced questions from EPIC on the potential impact of the SEND reforms on disabled children, young people and their families.
To watch the interview and find out more about EPIC please visit the website at www.councilfordisabledchildren.org.uk/EPIC
