The Children's NSF, launched in the Autumn of 2004, is a ten-year Government plan to improve health and social care for children. It includes a specific standard on the needs of disabled children and their families, which calls for joined-up services, proper information and the involvement of children and their families in the shaping of services. This is a guide for parent support groups. It explains the changes currently taking place in children's services, and provides practical information on how to influence change locally.
