The Child Disability Network (CDN) brings together a variety of organisations into a cooperative network. All members share a concern for childhood disability and work to alleviate the situation.
Members met in the CDN Conference on 18 August 2005 and agreed to work together.
During 2005 CSF acted on those recommendations and now we are here with a defined program.
