Children and young people with disabilities often have very complex health requirements and are automatically classed as being 'children in need'.

From a safeguarding perspective, children and young people with disabilities require particular vigilance to ensure that any instances of abuse and neglect are not missed.

  • identify the key features of neglect in a disabled child
  • judge what information on a child and family should be shared with others
  • list the local systems and resources available to support a child in need
  • describe the role of the named doctor for child protection in providing support and advice
  • describe the health needs of a disabled child and the potential implications of failing to meet those needs
