Hello Martin
I would like to participate in this event and contribute as the carer of a disabled person. The booking form only allows people belonging to an organisation – am I therefore excluded?
Many thanks

I think you should put your role on the form. The aim is for these discussions to be inclusive and how the community/voluntary sector can support disabled people and their carers is certainly an issue we will want to address.
