Working with partners

Working in coalition and partnership helps ensure that CLIC Sargent can make the voices of children and young people with cancer, and their families, heard more effectively by policy-makers and politicians on a range of issues.

Working with our partners has enabled CLIC Sargent to:

• Continue to ensure children and young people with cancer receive better support for their needs at school
• Work with other cancer charities to ensure cancer policy remains a key issue for all political parties moving forwards
• Ensure children and young people with cancer voice in discussions around wider children’s and disability policy

CLIC Sargent is delighted to be a part of the NCSI’s children and young people workstream which seeks to ensure that those who have or have had cancer have equal opportunities to achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes. We are taking forward two exciting pieces of work for which further details will be published shortly.

The Cancer Campaigning Group (CCG) is a coalition of national cancer-related charities representing service providers, research, advocacy and campaigning groups for cancer patients and their families. Founded in 2002, it enables cancer charities to speak and campaign with a single unified voice.

Every Disabled Child Matters (EDCM) is the campaign to get rights and justice for every disabled child. Changes to the Disability Discrimination Act in 2005 mean that all cancers are now included and CLIC Sargent is therefore pleased to support the EDCM campaign.

The National Council for Child Health & Wellbeing brings together organisations with an interest in child health.

The Specialised Healthcare Alliance (SHCA) is a broad coalition of patient groups supported by a smaller number of corporate members. It was established in 2003 to campaign on behalf of people with rare diseases and other complex conditions which require specialised medical care.
