The sad words of disabled teenager Emily echo the fi ndings of a study out this week, which reported that disabled children’s friendships, learning, communicati on, behaviour and health have suff ered during lockdown.
The survey of 4,074 parents by the Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) found that three-quarters of families have lost all their support during lockdown. Parents, brothers and sisters have taken on all care during the day and night, where needed.
The DCP says disabled children and their families have been locked out and wants the Government to make them a priority during the pandemic. Many disabled children have complex health issues, meaning they cannot return to school and need to conti nue shielding from COVID-19 with their families.
Nearly half of parents say their disabled children’s physical health has got worse and up to 80% are
batt ling with their mental health, too. Amanda Batt en from the DCP says: “As many
begin to emerge from lockdown, spare a thoughtfor those left in it.”
Emily, 16, told First News: “Although we are highly aware of the challenges the Government is facing during this deadly pandemic, this parti cular part of society was already facing numerous cuts in services. Sadly, the lockdown has only made things worse. I have felt isolated and lonely. The Government must take this as a serious matt er and we must all come together to make sure the voices of carers are heard.”
We took Emily to meet the Educati on Secretary, Gavin Williamson, at the end of last year. He said that making more acti viti es available to disabled children would be a priority. This was promised again by the Department for Educati on last week.
“I HAVE felt isolated and lonely.”
