Case studies

Disabled children and young people have told The Children's Society their stories, through the work of our projects throughout England. David message tells us about listening to young people.

Message from David

"I'd have all the adults who discriminate against us, to listen to our opinions and what we've got to say. Because, our opinions count, more than what they think, because they don't know who we are, so they can't say what we are thinking. We are the people who think not them. We think for ourselves, they don't think for us. They should know that, they should learn that." - David
