Children with disabilities and complex medical conditions

Medway Council has a dedicated Disabled Children’s Team that offers a range of flexible services to allow disabled children to remain living at home with their families. The team works in partnership with health and voluntary organisations to offer families appropriate services to meet their individual needs.

The Disabled Children’s Team is based in a purpose-built resource centre called Parklands, in Oxford Road, Gillingham (pictured right). More information on the range of services available to parents and carers of disabled children from Parklands can be found by registering on Medway's Positive Parenting Network (www.medwayppn.org). The centre also carries out individual work with children and families where social work input or respite provision is required.

Parents of disabled children are encouraged to join the disability register which is maintained at Parklands. The disability register offers families regular updated information that may be of interest to them. Information held on the register is used to plan new services and highlight the needs of local families.
