| Annotation | The National Family and Parenting Institute undertook research into improving supportive practice for disabled parents. The study by Richard Olsen (Nuffield Community Care Studies Unit, University of Leicester) and Helen Tyers (independent social worker and a disabled parent) drew on discussions with parents, and visits to four local authorities - Camden, Doncaster, Kingston-upon-Thames and Nottinghamshire - which have already begun to develop work in this area. These findings outline the types of support valued by parents, and lessons for senior managers and policy makers (including principles of good practice). The full report, "Think parent: supporting disabled adults as parents", is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), and is available from York Publishing Services. (RH). |
