This report draws on the findings of the second national survey of parents’ views on services for disabled children in England. The survey was conducted by TNS-BMRB on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). The survey was primarily designed to generate an overall indicator and set of sub-indicators which measure parental views on the five elements of the Core Offer as set out in the government’s report Aiming High for Disabled Children1. These comprise: 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 & family support. Thus, there are a total of 15 subindicators which are also combined to form an overall indicator reported at the national and local level.
The survey represents the second wave of three to be conducted over the financial years 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. The first wave was smaller in scale and the sample was limited to provide a national indicator score and local area results in 30 local authorities which had the indicator as part of their local area agreement in 2008-09 and 21 coterminous Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) (NI54 for LAs and VSC33 for
PCTs). In 2009-10 the sample was expanded to allow local indicator scores to be calculated in the large majority of LAs and PCTs.
