However we work with children with complex disabilities and often limited communication. We want to look at Apps or methods to be able to more actively seek the views of children, and equally easy enough for a wide range of staff with various degrees of IT knowledge to use.” Job details.
To apply, please contact disabilitylincolnshire@actionforchildren.org.uk or ring 01522 546516
