Scoping work to explore the implementation of ‘Independent Support’ within the context of Supportive Parents’ current Parent Partnership Service (2014)

In 2014 we were commissioned by the Bristol-based charity Supportive Parents to explore the implementation of ‘Independent Support’, a new government initiative under the Children and Families Act. The work involved online survey work with disabled children and parents, face-to-face interviews with senior policy makers, focus groups with families of disabled children, documentary review and analysis, data analysis and reporting.

The final report was published in June 2014 on Supportive Parents’ website.
