31 August 2026

A new report from Parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights backs major changes to disabled children's social care in England. It supports most Law Commission proposals, including national eligibility criteria and a modern definition of disability. The government must respond to the committee, and is expected to respond to the Law Commission by 16 September. Source: Contact
