Families and parenting

Right from the start, we're here to support families from the moment they discover their child is disabled.

Scope Response is the first port of call for parents. Please email response@scope.org.uk or download our free parents pack.

We can also put you in touch with your nearest Face 2 Face project, which offers a one-to-one befriending service for parents of disabled children.
