Supporting Professionals Working with Disabled Parents and Guardians

At Enabled2Parent, we are committed to helping professionals in healthcare, adult care, and children's services better understand their roles and collaborate effectively when supporting disabled parents. By working together, we can ensure that parents receive the support they need while maintaining their confidence and independence.

A Collaborative Approach

Supporting disabled parents requires a team effort. Healthcare professionals, adult and children’s services, and family support organizations must work together to take a whole-family approach. Effective collaboration helps to:

  • Tear down barriers to support
  • Provide parents with the right information and resources
  • Prevent unnecessary duplication of efforts

By sharing assessments, plans, and significant updates, professionals can ensure that support is streamlined and accessible for families who need it.

Key Questions for Professionals

As professionals supporting disabled parents, we must ask ourselves:

  • How can we create a more constructive relationship between parents, children, and family support services?
  • How do we ensure that children in challenging circumstances receive support while respecting and strengthening their parent's role?
  • Can we promote children's welfare without resorting to patronizing or negative perceptions of disability?
