Guidelines for Involvement: The Agency Perspective

Abstract

‘When children are assessed for mobility, they try to do all they can, when what they should be showing is how little they can do, like in a court for damages. You have to go and get nappies for your adolescent child. There’s nowhere to park. You have to sign the form each time. A new assessment is made every time you need a new size. Our children are never the problem. It’s the services. Whatever you need, however small, you know you’ve got a battle on.’
