Book

Direct payments to parents of disabled children and to 16 and 17 year old disabled young people in their own right, form a key part of the government’s strategy for supporting families.

This guide is based on the experience of 13 councils who met with CDC over an 18-month period. It details their experiences, concerns, developments and successes. The guide looks at the reality of implementing direct payments services within a children’s legislative context.

It will be useful for all councils working with direct payments, children’s disability services and the advice and advocacy services that support them.
