Assessing the Support Needs of Disabled Children and their Families

Professor Luke Clements provides a detailed explanation of the process by which children’s services in England should assess the support needs of disabled children and their families.

It is divided into the following sections:

  • Assessing a disabled child’s need for social care support
  • The ‘eligibility decision’: what needs must be met
  • Carers’ assessments
  • What type of support can be provided?
  • Common problems
  • Resources and links

The talk was commissioned by Full of Life – a charity that provides information and support to families living within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
