Today, we welcome you to our first-ever CP Convention, ‘a major national conference with a focus on lifestyle, cultural and identity issues and not on the medical aspects of having an impairment’.
We’ll be updating you through the day on what’s being said and we’d welcome your comments, opinions and questions.
Just add comments to the blog or email editor@scope.org.uk and we’ll pass them onto the organisers.
Our regular blogger Rosemary Bolinger will be adding her thoughts after the event but feel free to air your views as we go along…
Here’s what’s in store:
11.00am Scope’s Disability Commissioner Andy Rickell kicks off the day with his thoughts on “Identity and People with CP”
11.15am Disability Now’s editor Ian Macrae asks comedian Laurence Clark “Is CP a laughing matter?”
12.00pm Group discussion: “What does it mean to have CP?”
