This applies to England only.
As a parent of a disabled child, you are entitled to certain services that can help you, your child and your family.
This can include help with the personal care of your child; short breaks and holidays; or adaptations for the home.
Your local authority has a duty to provide these services to families that need them. In order to work out whether a disabled child and their family does need them, it carries out assessments. These are called needs assessments and carers assessments.
