The topic of this briefing is the fathers of children with disabilities, impairments or chronic illness. The children's disabilities include physical or sensory impairments, learning disability, and chronic conditions such as asthma, arthritis, diabetes and congenital heart disease. This briefing focuses on fathers' experiences of their child's disability and their resulting needs. The briefing is divided into sections: what does the research show; organisational knowledge; policy community knowledge; practitioner knowledge; research knowledge; user and carer knowledge; and useful links.
