| Annotation | This report is based on the social model of disability, which focuses on the barriers experienced by disabled people and their families. Included are quotes from them, indicative of the attitudes of others towards them. The report considers the policy context, local policies and strategies, and how local policies are put into practice. The findings are from a national survey of 50 councils in England, and 70 interviews conducted with representatives of adult services or children's services. The report recommends actions that need to be taken by councils and other agencies in relation to: joint working and integrated services; better information for joint strategic needs assessments; more Direct Payments and Individual Budgets; resourcing support to families; ongoing support and training for staff; and involvement of disabled parents and their families.
