Disabled Children

'Disabled Children' is an authoritative, yet accessible guide to the legal rights of disabled children, young people and their families in England. The law in relation to this important group is complex and frequently misunderstood by those who have duties and responsibilities towards them. Many families also lack essential information about legal matters which substantially affect their lives and about the ways the law might be used to assist them. The highly experienced author team expertly navigate the many, often overlapping, sources of law, explaining the differences between what public bodies must do to support disabled children and that which they may do.
