Disabled Parents Network Jobs

About us

Who we are

DPN exists to help disabled parent families, ie families where a parent has a disability, impairment or health condition. We are here for all disabled parent families, including people who are parents or who hope to become parents, those who raise, adopt or foster children, their families, friends and supporters, parents from ethnic minority backgrounds and same sex couples. Vision & Mission Our vision of is of a society in which people with a disability or long-term health challenge can freely aspire to be parents and enjoy a full and rewarding family life with their partners and children. In disabled parent families, children are free to enjoy their childhood. Health, social care and education services are easy to access and disabled parent families routinely receive the support they need. We help disabled parent families to access appropriate support and to grow in knowledge and self-confidence. We do this through: • Peer Support: Our volunteers enable others to overcome the isolation experienced by many disabled parent families. • Professional Support: We provide advice, advocacy and emotional support to disabled parent families who face challenges accessing the services they need. • Education: We provide information and training for health, social and education providers, disability organisations and the general public. • Awareness: Our work promotes awareness of the needs of disabled parent families and challenges attitudes and barriers that deny or limit the ability of disabled people to make good parents.
