Abstract
The intention is that the ICS will provide local authorities in England and Wales with a comprehensive system for collecting information about children in need who are in receipt of services by providing a single approach to undertaking the processes of assessment, planning, intervention and reviewing.
This disability study report had the aims:
1) To explore parents/carers' and disabled children's experiences of how information is currently being collected under the ICS system and, where relevant, contrast this to previous experiences of information collection. Is the information collected relevant to disabled children's and their families' own views of their needs?
2) To explore practitioners' experiences of using the ICS and its perceived relevance and appropriateness for disabled children and their families.
