What is Disability First Stop?

When people have an accident or are newly diagnosed as having a disability, Disability First Stop will direct them towards the appropriate agencies to give them the support they need.

We provide:

• Information via telephone, from email and face to face.
  
• Access to web based information covering a broad range of contacts
  appropriate to the initial phase post diagnosis
  
• Supported referral to relevant services
  
• Provision of professional advocacy support
  
• Linking to people who have similar personal experiences
