A task force on supporting disabled adults in their parenting role was set up by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, with support from the Department of Health, the Association of Directors of Social Services, the Disabled Parents' Network and relevant voluntary organisations. Members also included disabled parents. The task force met seven times over two years and also hosted two conferences to which non-members were invited. Parents, professionals (including government civil servants, social work practitioners and representatives from the voluntary sector) and researchers were invited to make presentations and contribute to discussions around themes identified at the first meeting of the Task Force in December 2000. The full report summarises the evidence heard by the Task Force and sets out detailed recommendations for the different agencies concerned.
