Our support and advice services will continue as normal during the new national lockdown

As announced on Monday we are now under a new national lockdown, until the middle of February at least.

We were all encouraged to live within these restrictions immediately, but from Wednesday 6th January the restrictions will be a legal requirement.

However, through the skilled planning of our teams, The Disability Resource Centre is fully equipped to continue delivering its services, even during a national lockdown.

All of our support and advice services will continue as normal, either over the phone or via one of our online platforms (Website chat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and you can text us with your mobile phone).

All training courses will either by conducted through our virtual classrooms or as pre-recorded online videos for you to view in your own time.
