The Children (NI) Order 1995 was implemented in November 1996. This article summarises the findings of a research project carried out by the Centre for Child Care Research studying the initial impact of the Order on the planning and provision of personal social services for disabled children and their families. The research found that, while progress has been made in implementing the Children (NI) Order in relation to disabled children, there is still some way to go if the underpinning philosophy is to be fully achieved.
