Details

The then Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) commissioned TNS-BMRB to conduct a survey among parents of disabled children. The five elements of the core offer are: information; transparency; assessment; participation; and feedback.

Sub-indicators have been calculated for each of these elements within the three service areas of health, education, and care and family support. Thus, there are a total of 15 sub-indicators which are also combined to form an overall high-level indicator reported at the national and local level.

This technical report details the methodology for the first wave of the research. The methodology was kept largely consistent between year 1 and year 2 but where there were differences these are outlined in chapter 5.
