Aiming High for Disabled Children campaign in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire’s Families Information Service (based at the County Council) wanted to further extend it’s reach to families with disabled children. I developed a county-wide information campaign – Aiming High for Disabled Children Northants – to make sure all families with disabled children, and the health, education and social care professionals they come into contact with, knew how to get the information, advice and support they needed. All elements of the campaign were developed together with families and professionals and it included a website, a Facebook support group for parents, feature placement in local media and a touring roadshow to community venues. Requests for information and support from the Families Information Service by parents of disabled children and professionals increased by 24 per cent.
