The vision behind Aiming High for Disabled Children is for all families with disabled children to have the support they need to live ordinary family lives.
To deliver this vision, Aiming High for Disabled Children has three priority areas:
Access and empowerment
The national expectations in the Core Offer will help make services more accessible. Children, young people and their families will be actively involved in the planning and delivery of services in their local area.
Responsive services and timely support
All professionals responsible for planning services for children, both locally and nationally, will focus on the services disabled children and young people need, particularly at key life stages such as the early years and in transition to adulthood.
Improving quality and capacity
Significant new funding has been allocated to the services families want and need, in particular short break services which families have described as their key priority.
