1. Is a parent’s Neurodiverse condition (diagnosed or suspected) able to be recorded as a unique Service User Group and/or category of Disability on your Children’s recording system?
‘Parental disability’ is recorded via CIN factors in the initial assessment that follows referral, as it would be in any local authority, however we don’t record against parents and there is no classification that we record on a child’s record that specifically relates to a parent’s neurodiversity
2. In 2023-2024, what was the percentage of total CP Plans with parental neurodiversity (diagnosed or suspected) a contributing factor to threshold being met for significant harm
Following on from our response to question 1, we do not hold this information
3. Does your Local Authority provide those working directly with parents within Children’s Services, training on working with neurodiverse parents?
Yes
