carer's obligations

andrew720

Hi, just a quick question...

Is a parent or carer of an autistic child obliged by law to ensure that any required assistance or support is given to the child if it enables the child to cope with issues with regards to being on the autism spectrum. Is it regarded as 'neglect' if a person or carer refuses to do so and is that something to be reported to local authorities?

thanks in advance.

  • You mean there are services in your area they can access? Or refuse?

    Read the posts on this forum. Numerous parents struggling to get any kind of meaningful support. I may be misreading your intentions but are you picking on someone who is struggling with an autistic child in the current situation with service cut backs, long waits etc.

    This is really not a situation where you go up to a help desk, ask for the services and it is all handed to you on a plate. It is a living nightmare for many parents.
