The Disabled Children’s service supports children who have a lifelong, permanent and substantial disability. The service is made up of five teams: Enablement Team, 0-11 Team, 11+ Team, Eligibility Team and Occupational Therapy Team. The 0-11 team specialises in delivering early intervention in collaboration with children, their families and key agencies, including health and education. The primary aim of the 0-11 team is to offer targeted support at an early age to strengthen families and reduce the risk of family breakdown.
