Local authorities are failing to provide adequate inclusive play facilities even though these are known to reduce the isolation experienced by disabled children and their families. This report reveals a lack of affordable services, appropriate training and adequate funds for extra staff to allow disabled and non-disabled children to share facilities. The study of fourteen local authorities exposes significant problems with existing provisions, including: difficulties for parents of disabled school-age children in finding out about services; young people of secondary school age being placed in settings used mainly by younger children, leading to older disabled children being isolated by age as well as disability; under-representation of minority ethnic groups; and confirmation of funding for play services often too late for service co-ordinators to employ extra workers needed for inclusive provision.

This report makes recommendations about the planning of New Osbaldwick in order to meet their needs. It argues that, taking an inclusive approach to all impairments, and using prevalence rates within the general population, assumptions can be made about the numbers of wheelchair users, people with learning difficulties and mental health problems and so on. This has implications for all aspects of life in New Osbaldwick – including buildings, information and community facilities.
