Disabled parents often
encounter challenges – both practical and attitudinal. This issue features
some examples of how parents are working effectively to meet such
challenges.
We are very sorry to say goodbye to two members of staff this summer. During the past four years Coral Jepson's contribution to DPPi has been outstanding. In addition to her work as one of the information officer team, Coral commissioned articles for the DPPi journal and serviced the editorial advisory board; recently she developed a project on information for parents with visual impairments. She will be sorely missed, as will Susan Moore, Disabled Parents' Support Worker, who worked jointly for Disabled Parents Network and DPPi. Over three years Susan provided support to disabled parents, where her practical and sensitive approach to advocacy enabled her to make a difference to the lives of many people. We thank them both and wish them well in their future careers. Christine Winwood
