Discussion Forum: Parenting

Date:            Thursday 1st of October 2020                                                                      

Location:    Online Via Zoom 

Time:           10am until 12pm and 2pm until 4pm 

The goal of this closed forum is to enable frank conversations among stakeholders from the fields of law, health, social care, and people with disabilities concerning the barriers and opportunities faced by disabled people in Parenting.

The numbers attending this forum will be limited as we are looking for people with a specific interest in parenting.

The Discussion Forum is an opportunity for exchange of experiences between people with disabilities who have parenting experiences and professionals in the legal, medical and social work sectors. It will be a great opportunity for everyone present to learn about barriers, practices, challenges which have helped or hindered positive parenting by persons with disabilities in Ireland. We hope to follow a similar format to our previous forum – hearing from lived experience participants first, followed by nominated responses from within the health and social care, and legal profession.

We will present a working paper on parenting that will be circulated prior to the forum taking place. 

If you have an intrest in attending the forum, please fill out the forums above. If you have any difficulties as always email realproductivejustice@nuigalway.ie
