This collection of essays considers the relevance of Foucault to the phenomenon of disability, and the significance of disability studies to understanding and interpreting Foucault. This collection is a response to Foucault's call to question what is regarded as natural, inevitable, ethical, and liberating; hence, contributors draw on Foucault to scrutinize a range of widely endorsed practices and ideas surrounding disability, including rehabilitation, community care, impairment, normality and abnormality, inclusion, prevention, accommodation, and special education.

A report of NSPCC commissioned research to understand how parents of disabled children understand and address issues around child sexual abuse, particularly preventing child sexual abuse. The study gathered views from 30 parents and carers of disabled children, including children with physical and learning disabilities, and complex communication needs. The findings from the interviews cover parents' concerns about keeping their children safe, the support and resources that would help them, and how they would like professionals, schools and other community groups to engage with them on preventing child sexual abuse. Key finding from the report are that schools and other agencies should work with parents to ensure that disabled children receive consistent and accessible information on sex, relationships and abuse, and knowing how to let others know when they feel unsafe. Drawing on the findings, the report highlights insights for practice and policy development. (Edited publisher abstract)
