This CSCI report seeks to examine the experiences of disabled parents and their families and to see how far council policies, services and practice are providing appropriate support. The findings in this report are taken from a national survey of 50 councils; of the 70 interviews, 36 were conducted with representatives of adults’ services and 32 of children’s services, and two were conducted with a representative from each service jointly. To supplement the national picture, in-depth study workshops of services were conducted in four council areas. The report finds that many councils do not fully support disabled parents and their children.
