MNHQ here: should Mumsnet sign up as a member of a new campaign on children with disabilities?

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello

Mumsnet's been asked whether we want to sign up long-term as a supporter of the newly launched Disabled Children's Partnership. So, as ever with these things, we said we'd ask what our users thought.

Here's what the DCP has to say about itself:

"The Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) is an exciting new collaboration between 25 disability and children’s charities (listed below). As charities we have come together in the shared belief that health and social care services can and must be better if disabled children, young people and families are to get the support they need to enhance their life chances. The partnership was founded in 2015 to build on the excellent work of the Every Disabled Child Matters campaign."

"The partnership will work with disabled young people and their families to launch a major new campaign in England in 2017. The campaign will set out to challenge the political status quo and proactively raise the profile of the challenges that so many disabled children, young people and families face."

"The concerns, experiences and stories of disabled children, young people and their families will be at the forefront of the campaign, and therefore need to shape its development."

We here at MNHQ think this looks like a good way to maximise campaigning impact on health and social care issues - but of course as ever we want to know what you think, so please do tell us whether you think we should sign up.

Thanks

I've reported Beyonds last post (hope that's OK!) just in case there's an issue with reporting other people's posts. No idea if it works that way!

Got yours MrsFizzy, thank you

I've reported my last post, never thought to let you know though

Hmmm Insan1ty nothing from you, eeek. How long ago did you report? How are you using MN - app, desktop, mobile site? Did you get the reports acknowledgement screen that Dee posted a photo of a few posts ago?

I'm on mobile (iPhone) I've reported my own but I don't get that screen that was posted

Ah, nothing from you either Spork. Are you using the app (lots of purple ;-)) or the mobile site, do you know? (Shove up a screenshot of what you're seeing if you're not sure)

Achievement unlocked zzzzz thank you

The mobile site not the app, it just hangs spinning on the circle thing that it does for posting too but never goes off it, this phone is old and slow though and has been dropped in the bath many times so Would not be surprised if it was an issue on my phone rather then mm !

Oh that's a shame. But yes if you're getting the spinning wheel of doom, it probably does mean that the report hasn't been sent at all. We'll do some testing to make sure that reports from the mobile site are otherwise getting through.

(If there are things you'd like to report but the report function isn't working for you, please c+p the thread URL, the name of the poster who wrote the post you're reporting, and the date and time of the post you're reporting, into an email and send it to [email protected] - the team will forward it on to the right people.)

Poster calling reasonable adjustments "lowest common denominator" and calling for segregation so the other children can enjoy more variety.

Dry heave. Will attempt to report now!

Where's that delightful post?

I think if we were allowed to make PAs on people who said such things people would be much less discontented.

Only being half serious

Am sick of getting a hard time for being angry.

No wonder I/we are angry

I'm not going to direct you because it's on an otherwise tedious and unremarkable thread. That is, it's likely to be the only actionable post on the thread.

My report appears to have gone through. I'll let you know what happens.

Well thanks for the trust

You could have pointed that out then directed me.

But hey Ho. Sleep beckons. I could search but CbA. Have a good night :)

Sorry, thought I was being kind. I wanted you not to have to read bollocks, rather than not trusting you to PA them back though I was sitting on my hands myself.

Sleep well.

Ok. Kind is good. I did think you were kind poster. Sorry am exhausted

I did think you were kind poster.

I really appreciate your saying so. I do try!

You succeed :)

MrsHathaway is that post still up. Could you PM me a link to it.

I'd like to screen shot it.

Thank you polter.
