Inclusion IrelandInclusion Ireland is a national voluntary organisation working to promote the rights of people with an intellectual disability in Ireland to ensure their full and equal participation in society. The Red Door Parents Support Group is a group member of Inclusion Ireland, which means that we have access to their services.

Through the strength of its membership, Inclusion Ireland can advocate more effectively for better services, based on the opinion and experiences of a broader group of people and organisations. As members, we have:

  • access to their information service
  • access to their advocacy service
  • a copy of all our publications when they are published
  • access to Inclusion Ireland staff if we would like an information talk on any aspect of their work
  • we will receive the quarterly newsletter
  • we will be notified of all conferences, seminars and other events regionally and nationally
  • we will be provided with the opportunity to input into shaping response to Government & HSE policy both at local and national level
