There is a dearth of research on how to respond to children with disabilities who have been maltreated. The current study used a needs assessment instrument tailored to each of three key groups; parents, educators, and investigators. Respondents were asked about their knowledge level, experience with, and training interests on maltreatment of children with disabilities. The current study helps document the nature of those knowledge gaps and, thereby informs the development of training programmes for building a more co-ordinated and informed response to maltreatment of children with disabilities.

What rights for disabled children? Home enteral tube feeding in the community

The growing number of disabled children who are tube fed at home has important implications both for families and professionals who support them. This article reports on the preliminary findings of a project which aims to assess the practical, social and emotional impact of home enteral tube feeding (HETF) on the lives of disabled children and their families. The evidence presented suggests that guidance and training on HETF for non-parent carers is both inadequate and inconsistent. Consequently access to education and social services may be restricted or even denied for disabled children on HETF as a direct result of their perceived need for nursing or medical care.
