The SSI has just published its first inspection report into services for disabled children. Although the inspection discovered that many families with disabled children receive services which are highly valued, some authorities had no proper register, which means that SSDs had no information about the needs of this user group. There was little evidence of local authorities working in partnership with children and young people with disabilities and that assessment and review were generally understated so that parents often didn't know they had taken place. Parents were also found to be confused about the range of professionals they had to deal with.
