Offers a model of social work centred around addressing the experience of disabled children as a human rights issue. Describes the relevant duties and powers of the Children Act 1989 and suggests ways of working within the legislation which are child centred and anti-oppressive. Emphasises the need to have confidence in basic childcare principles and social work skills as well as exploring the responsibilities of social work within the new ABC of assessment, brokerage and care management. Sees child protection as a key area where improving services to include disabled children will have positive spin-offs for the quality of child care practice as a whole.
