Many families with disabled children report experiencing stigma and discrimination when navigating support systems. Research by the charity Contact found that 96% of families are not getting the right support to care safely for their disabled children, and many feel they must fight hard for basic services There have been documented cases where families claim bullying and harassment after complaining about care quality, such as the Swansea Bay University Health Board case where an external review was launched following similar allegations. Lawyers have also raised concerns about local authorities misusing their safeguarding/protection powers against parents who advocate for their disabled children.
