Whilst working with and supporting disabled parents to enable them to receive the services they need to carry out their parenting responsibilities it is equally important to endeavor to ensure that service providers improve their working relations with disabled parents.
DPN is able to provide trainers and speakers to attend conferences, study days and workshops. These may be attended by Midwives, Health Visitors and other health professionals; Social Workers, Occupational Therapists and other social care professionals.
