DISABILITY: Handle With Care - A Report on the Moving and Handling of Children and Young People with Disabilities

Submitted by crinadmin on

This report examines policy and practice in the moving and handling of children with physical disabilities. The Commissioner has heard from a number of children and young people with disabilities and their parents about moving and handling practice. The children and young people describe feeling embarassed, humiliated, undignified and excluded because of moving and handling difficulties.

To find out more about their experiences of moving and handling, SCCYP carried out a series of focus groups with children and young people, parents and practitioners.
