Book cover for Disabled Children: a legal handbook

The Legal Action Group has published a third edition of Disabled Children: a legal handbook. The handbook is an authoritative, yet accessible guide to the law which explains what public bodies must do to support disabled children.

Professor Katherine Runswick-Cole, The School of Education and iHuman, co-authors a chapter with Professor Chris Hatton (Lancaster) and Dr Sara Ryan (Oxford)).

Katherine said: 'As the mother of a disabled child, now a young adult, who has used earlier editions of this book, I know how important the publication of the book, in its third edition, is for families raising disabled children.  There has never been more need for this and I am delighted to be a part of it.'
