Youth work for young disabled people

Ofsted has published Critical issues in the provision of youth work for young disabled people.

The survey reports on young disabled people's access to youth work and its impact on their lives.

It finds that local authorities must do more to ensure disabled young people can access youth provision in their area and states that the proportion of disabled young people that access local authority youth work provision is low, while some disabled young people are not known to councils, so potentially miss out on services.
