Aiming High for Disabled Children (AHDC) announced a national indicator on disabled children's services (National Indicator 54 - NI 54). The indicator will look at parental experiences of services for disabled children and young people aged 0 to 19 and the extent to which these services are delivered according to 'core offer' standards.
The government has published an updated briefing on the indicator and the timetable for its development.
A draft version of the main stage questionnaire can be accessed here.
