Recent research and child care legislation has brought about a change in emphasis in services for families where there is a child with disabilities. Reports on the results of an evaluation of a multi-agency Children's Centre providing multi-disciplinary services, where different agencies and professionals work together to provide a holistic service. Assesses how far the Centre was carrying out an integrated approach in order to meet the needs of children and carers. Results indicated that while staff felt there was still some way to go to provide a seamless service, the vast majority of parents felt that the Centre did meet its aims. Explores the reasons for these differences, but concludes that there is evidence that professionals can successfully work together with one shared aim; and that such multi-agency centres work for families.
