For most children and young people, hospital stays can be a daunting experience, but they are usually short and relatively rare events in a child’s life. For a significant number of disabled children, however, hospital admissions can be frequent and prolonged. Their needs bring many additional challenges to the children, their families and the hospital team, as well as to those responsible for their continuing care in the community. It is crucial that all involved in the care of such children should work together in the best possible ways to secure the best possible outcomes for them. This document provides an inspection framework to enable this to happen.
