This consultation was commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government. It elicited the views of disabled children and young people across Wales about the services they use and their recommendations for change. The findings will be used to inform the Children’s First bjectives, the National Service Framework for Children and wider policy developments. Disabled children and young people’s involvement in making decisions about their own care and treatment is not  consistent across services. Whilst disabled children and young people may make small day to day decisions, adults still appear to make the more important decisions on their behalf. There are few examples of disabled children and young people’s involvement in shaping services.
