Disabled Children by Luke Clements
A comprehensive and accessible book focusing on the law affecting disabled children and their families in England and Wales. It gives authoritative legal guidance on all the duties and responsibilities of public bodies towards this vulnerable group of children.
'The book appeals because it looks at its subject matter holistically, considering not only the legal framework relating to disabled children, but the broader social context drawing on real life expertise of disabled children and their families and research that highlights the common problems they experienceAs a result, the book has focus, concentrating not on abstract considerations, but on relevant and essential information on how the law can assist disabled children and their families.'
