Resources for parents raising a disabled child in the UK
Childhood disability is relatively common, estimated to affect around 7% of children in the UK. Nevertheless, caring for a child with medical, social and/or educational needs is not something parents expect or plan for. Parent carers often describe this unanticipated role as ‘an ongoing battle’ to access information and services. The aim of this article is to raise awareness of resources that can support parent carers and their families.
