Overview

Throughout October and November the Northamptonshire Children's Trust are seeking views on a proposed new way of delivering activities and respite (short breaks) for disabled children in Northamptonshire. 

Please watch the below short video that explains what the services are and the suggested changes. 

How do we define disabled?

You’re considered disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.

  • 'substantial’ is more than minor or trivial, e.g. it takes much longer than it usually would to complete a daily task like getting dressed
  • ‘long-term’ means 12 months or more

How to have your say

Please fill out this questionnaire using the link below to tell us your views about the service. 

You do not have to answer all of the questions. If you don’t want to answer a question, or don’t know the answer, then move on to the next question.

You can also give us your views by emailing or writing to us or attending one of the engagement sessions. Places at the engagement sessions are limited so if you would like to attend please select an event and reserve your place.
