Abstract

In March 2013 the Scottish Government appointed researchers from the University
of Edinburgh/NSPCC Child Protection Research Centre and the University of
Strathclyde, School of Social Work and Social Policy, to investigate the relationship
between disabled children and child protection practice. Through interviews and
focus groups, the researchers spoke with 61 professionals working on issues of
disabled children and child protection in Scotland. This report is the outcome of their research.
