Disabled Children and the Law: Research and Good Practice
Janet Read and Luke Clements

Disabled Children and The Law

From the UK perspective this book explains how the laws of the UK are set to support disabled children and their families or carers.

The authors use research about the needs of these children and explain how the law can be used to provide good practice and policy.

They explain the somewhat complicated and complex overlaps of responsibilities of all agencies, Health, Education and Social Services and how to get the best for the child from each.

Very up to date by looking at the implications of the current guidelines from the Dept. of Health "Assessment of Disabled Children" and " Carers & Disabled Children's Act 2000".
