Conservative conference extends support for Aiming High for Disabled Children

At an Action for Children fringe meeting this week, in response to a question as to whether a Conservative government would sustain the Aiming High for Disabled Children investment programme, Tim Loughton MP, Shadow Minister for Children, said:

'It is an absolute false economy to not support families with disabled children. Aiming High for Disabled Children definitely gives you bang for your buck. I would like to make it work better and would like to extend it.'
