The Quality Protects Programme, (QP) was implemented across England in 1998 to improve services for children in need with a particular focus on looked after children.This report follows on from the previous analyses of the Quality Protects Management Action Plans, (MAPS). The last detailed report on issues in MAPS relating to disability was on the second year reports in 1999/2000 , also produced by the Council for Disabled Children. This report is intended to: note the quality of services currently available; note what is planned for the near future; highlight examples of services which seem to be working particularly well and which could be used as models by others; and identify areas of concern and gaps in provision. The report aims to identify innovative practice in: supporting young people with complex needs to remain in their community; multi agency working at both operational and strategic levels; and supporting children with challenging behaviour.
