The motion

That the Parliament congratulates CLIC Sargent on its recent report, Coping with Cancer, and the work that it does with children, young people and their families; believes that, every day in the UK, 10 children and young people are given the news of a diagnosis of cancer that will change their lives forever; considers that, although treatment normally starts immediately, it often takes place many miles from home and can last for extensive periods up to as much as three years; concurs with the report's findings that accessing a mix of quality information, support and advice that is person-centred, from face-to-face support to an online community approach, helps children and young people with a cancer diagnosis to be more resilient and cope better in their journey through treatment; welcomes the efforts of CLIC Sargent in seeking to achieve effective approaches to building resilience in children and young people; congratulates CLIC Sargent on what it considers its excellent research and report findings, and wishes it success in the future.
