Researchers at the Centre for Disability Research (CedR), Lancaster University collected information about the assessed level of eligibility for samples of children aged 14-16 identified as having special educational needs (SEN), and explored the relationship between SEN and disability. The aim was to estimate changes in the need for social care services for adults with disabilities in England between 2012 and 2030. The project builds on and extends the research team’s previous work on estimating future need for social care services among adults with learning disabilities over the time period. This summary of the research notes that estimates are based on “need” rather than “demand”; and that changes in demand are likely to outstrip changes in need because of the reduction in the capacity of informal support networks to provide care.

The Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee (DPTAC) was established in 1986 to provide independent advice to Government on the transport needs of all disabled people (Transport Act 1985). The aim of DPTAC is to ensure that disabled people can go where everyone else goes and can do so easily and without encountering additional barriers or incurring extra costs. It seeks: to firstly provide timely, focused and credible advice to Government on the transport and built environment needs of all disabled people, the advice to be representative of the broad views of disabled people in the United Kingdom on nondevolved issues. Secondly to provide guidance and advice to the transport and built environment industries and others on how best to meet the varying needs of all disabled people, taking account of gender, race, faith, sexuality, age and other relevant factors; and thirdly to ensure that service providers inform disabled people of developments in accessible transport and the built environment. DPTAC wants to learn the views and comments of those with an interest in its work on the form and content of the 2005-2007 Strategy and objectives.
