The disabled children’s social care framework is complex and difficult to navigate.

Conclusion
The disabled children’s social care framework is complex and difficult to navigate. In line with the Law Commission’s recommendations, we agree that there should be a single, comprehensive piece of statutory guidance on disabled children’s social care law, clearly setting out rights and responsibilities of disabled children, families, and local authorities. This guidance should be produced in consultation with local authorities, disabled children, their families and their carers, as well as sector organisations and experts in the field. (Conclusion, Paragraph 47)
