The Disabled Children and Young People Service

The Disabled Children and Young People Service provides social care assessment and support planning for disabled children, young people and their families, and a range of support to meet assessed needs. Support is intended to enable disabled children to have the same range of opportunities as non-disabled children, and with their families to be able to experience the ‘ordinary’ things of life that others take for granted. The service is committed to working in partnership with young people and their families in everything they do, with the aim to support disabled children and young people to be fully participating and included in their families and communities, developing the skills and experiences needed to live as independently as possible.
