Who Does What

While parents are a child’s most important carers, a large number of professionals and agencies potentially get involved as well when there is a child with cerebral palsy. In order to feel confident that the best is being done for a child in a timely way, to know what to expect, and to know where to go if something is not working well, it is useful to know what these agencies are, how their services fit together, and how they are made available. Some questions about services, such as formal appeals procedures and information sharing, will be found in the Legal Matters section.
