Mencap is one of the official disability partners of LOCOG (The London organising committee for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) disability partners. As a partner, Mencap has been given a special code to use on any applications we support. This will mean we can easily track applications we have supported. The code also tells LOCOG that the applicant has a learning disability and may need extra support. LOCOG are also offering a helpline for applicants who have difficulty with the online process.
