South Africa’s Department of Social Development calls for stronger partnerships to support children with disabilities

 

South Africa’s Department of Social Development is calling for stronger partnerships between the government, civil society and communities to improve care and support for children with disabilities and their families.

The call comes as South Africa observes Disability Rights Awareness Month this November, amid concerns over limited access to specialised care and support services for children with severe to profound intellectual disabilities.
