The UK's 700,000 disabled children face disproportionate discrimination in realising their basic human rights. Children in Wales held a conference on 23 June in Cardiff to look at how the rights of disabled children, young people and their families can be made a priority in Wales.
The conference aimed to ensure that disabled children and their families have the same access to everyday opportunities as other children and their families.
Delegates had the opportunity to hear from a range of keynote speakers who highlighted the barriers and possible solutions to the fulfilment of disabled children's rights.
Presentations from the day are available to download from the Children in Wales website: www.childreninwales.org.uk.
