| Annotation | A Task Force on Supporting Disabled Adults in their Parenting Role received evidence that people with physical or sensory impairments, learning or mental health difficulties, long-term illness or HIV/AIDS experience common barriers in receiving appropriate support in their parenting roles. The Task Force consisted of representatives from government, social services, voluntary organisations and disabled parents' organisations. It took evidence from parents, professionals and researchers, and found most difficulties were caused by negative attitudes and unequal access to support. These findings outline the results of the research and some recommendations for improving practice by bodies including the Department of Health (DH), the Valuing People Support Team, the Independent Living Fund, and social services departments (SSDs). The full report, 'The right support: report of the Task Force on Supporting Disabled Adults in their Parenting Role', is by Jenny Morris and published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). (RH). |
