Disabled Children's Service

We are working with local partners to develop a Disabled Children's Service to deliver services for children with complex disabilities.

Alongside North Somerset Primary Care Trust and Weston Area Health Trust, we aim to set up an integrated service delivering seamless specialist support for disabled children.

It will establish care pathways for specialist workers and universal services, such as schools and health visitors, allowing them to work together to meet children's needs.

It will provide a single point of access for services allowing them to share best practice, budgets, information and locations where appropriate.

It will help implement the new lead professional role and deliver services in line with key national standards and guidance.

It will also help achieve a number of the goals identified in the Disabled Children's Strategy.
