Child Protection and Disability

[/fusion_title][fusion_text]The ‘Child Protection and Disability Toolkit’ has been produced in partnership by WithScotland and the Scottish Government’s Ministerial Working Group on Child Protection and Disability. It is aimed at Practitioners and Managers in child and family and disability services and It’s the only toolkit of its kind available to practitioners in Scotland.

It includes information on research, a set of training and resource materials designed to help professionals understand the issues and good practice guidance to supplement the Scottish Government National Guidance for Child Protection in Scotland 2014. It also contains sections such as ‘myth busters’, case studies as well as a DVD in which disabled parents speak of their experiences.

In Aberdeenshire we are committed to providing the right support, in the right place, at the right time.

Services such as Education, Health, Third Sector, and Children’s Services Social Work, provide support by working closely in partnership with families. In this way we ensure the needs of children and young people are met at home, through inclusive schools, and in the wider community.
