Introduction
C4EO's work on Disability supports Directors of Children's Services and their Children's
Trust partners by providing the knowledge, data and tailored support they may need
to help improve outcomes for disabled children and their families.
As part of the theme, three key priorities have been addressed:
- Improving the wellbeing of disabled children (up to the age of eight) and their
families through increasing the quality and range of early interventions.
- Improving the wellbeing of disabled children and young people through improving
access to positive activities: extended services, youth work, inclusive play and
leisure opportunities, sports and the arts.
- Ensuring all disabled children and young people and their families receive services
which are sufficiently differentiated to meet their diverse needs.
C4EO Disability Research
C4EO has commissioned several pieces of research on this important area.

Directors' summaries
The Disability summary is a concise and accessible overview of C4EO’s current
work in this theme for directors of children’s services.
The following resources are now available on Disability:
Improving the wellbeing of disabled children (up to the age of eight) and their
families through increasing the quality and range of early interventions
Improving the wellbeing of disabled children and young people through improving
access to positive activities: extended services, youth work, inclusive play and
leisure opportunities, sports and the arts.
Ensuring all disabled children and young people and their families receive services
which are sufficiently differentiated to meet their diverse needs.
Managing behaviour and sleep problems in disabled children: An investigation into the effectiveness and costs of parent-training interventions.
Disabled children, and particularly those with learning disabilities and/or autistic spectrum conditions (ASC), are more likely to have problems with their sleep or behaviour than non-disabled children.

About local practice examples
As with all C4EO themes, C4EO recognises that not all useful knowledge about ‘what
works’ and why, is to be found in research reports and papers. We are therefore
keen to hear about practice that is leading to significantly improved outcomes for
children, young people and their families.
We will incorporate validated local practice examples into our full reviews on what
works, which will be shared with other decision-makers in the children’s services
field. We will also include them as a special body of evidence on this website.
To be validated, practice examples need to be supported by some evidence which shows
the outcomes and changes that have been achieved.
Submit local practice examples
If you would like to submit an example of effective local practice, please:
- Signup to the C4EO website if you haven't already.
- Login and complete the local practice online
submission form
Alternatively you can:
- Download a copy of the local practice submission form (77Kb Word
file, 6 pages)
- Send your completed form to C4EOTeam@NFER.ac.uk
Further information
If you have any queries regarding validated local practice, please do not hesitate
to contact Monica Hetherington at NFER via

Interactive data
Explore, customise and print C4EO maps and reports with:
Maps
Data views – View interactive maps and graphs that
allow you to select the data you are interested in.
Advanced data views – Select the data and
comparators you are interested in before viewing in the format of your choice (e.g.
charts, interactive maps, XML etc).
Area profiles
Area profiles – View a predefined report on your Government
Office Region, Local Authority and Statistical Neighbours
(PDF 102Kb, 9 pages)
Advanced area profiles – Select the data and
comparators to create your own customised profile.
We currently have data at National, Regional and Local Authority level. We are loading
information at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) as it becomes available. At the moment
IDACI 2007, NI 152, NI 116 and other indices of deprivation are available at LSOA
level (accessible by double-clicking the chosen local authority in the Child Poverty
maps).
We are keen to maintain the usefulness of the data views and reports. If you have
any thoughts on how to make the reports more useful, or would like to tell us what
you plan on using the data for, please complete the 'feedback
form'.
More information on how to use the interactive data and what the indicators mean
can be found in the help section.
To view the interactive data, you will need to have Adobe Flash Player 9
or higher installed.
Due to the high volume of data in the interactive maps, very occasionally the map
may appear not to load correctly. If this does happen please attempt to reload the
