Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children, Schools and Families.

Children, Schools and Families

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. One of the key findings of our review of disabled children’s services was that parents need to find ways of navigating the system. One of the best ways is to establish a lead professional, along with parents’ forums, who can act as an advocate. In drawing up our children’s plan we will ensure that children’s services, schools and health officials are involved at local level, in order to deal effectively with complexity that may at times be inevitable but is still quite distressing for parents.
