This volume reports a research study that investigates how different local agencies work together - or fail to do so - in their approach to disabled children and their families. The challenge lies in keeping the whole child in view, the child who is more than a patient, pupil or social work client, and more than the sum of these parts. The study takes a broad view of local policy and practice. Key areas covered include: emerging trends in interagency working; difficulties in interagency work and some solutions; and case studies illustrating the lived experience of children and parents as they are affected by interagency work or its failure.

The improvement handbook has been designed for managers and staff who work with disabled children and their families, across different agencies and disciplines. Individual services and agencies can use it to improve their own services. But, the most effective way to use the change pack is for managers and professionals from different agencies and disciplines to use it to review and develop services together. Families said that very often it was better co-ordination between different professionals and agencies that would make the biggest difference to the quality of their lives.
