Assessing the social care needs of disabled children with autism (‘Autism Plus’ policies)

Professor Luke Clements considers the legal duties that children’s services in England are under when they are asked to assess the social care needs of disabled children with autism and the problems many families experience when councils have policies that discriminate against children with autism in the assessment process.

This talk was delivered as part of the Social Care Law Lecture Series at The School of Law, Leeds.
