Social Care
Disabled children and young people should be able to access services available to all children and young people. Not all children and young people with additional needs will require a specialist service or intervention.
Some children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities may also be able access specialist services through a social care assessment.
Social care assessments are the process by which information about children young people and their families and carers is gathered, so that decisions can be made about what support and interventions they may need and be entitled to.
