"Cerebra, a charity helping children with brain conditions, has published a report looking at the experiences of families with disabled children in their interactions with local authority children’s services departments in England. Findings from analysis of the assessment protocols of 143 children’s services authorities and a survey of 92 parent carer led support organisations include: national and local social care policies create a default position for those assessing disabled children that assumes parental failings; and the national guidance that directs the process by which disabled children are assessed is not fit for purpose, as it fails to address the assessment and support needs of disabled children for whom there is no evidence of neglect or abuse."
