On World Cerebral Palsy Day on 6 October, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cerebral Palsy launched a report focussing on the difficulties that young adults with cerebral palsy face as they attempt to make the transition into adulthood and detailing how young people with cerebral palsy should be helped so that they may have meaningful, productive lives.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Cerebral Palsy is a Westminster forum for Parliamentarians from all political parties to better understand the challenges faced by individuals of all ages with cerebral palsy and their families.
The APPG on Cerebral Palsy want the government and key decision-makers to have an open and honest conversation about what needs to happen to improve the lives of children and young adults with cerebral palsy.
The report – the fourth produced by the group – aims to guarantee that people with cerebral palsy in the UK, regardless of where they reside, have access to high-quality services by shedding light on the areas in which those systems succeed and fail.
