| CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH A DISABILITY | SERVICE PROVISIONSummary: It has been suggested that children who provide care for parents or siblings who are ill or have a disability may suffer in terms of mental and physical health, education and career choices and restricted social networks. This paper argues that there is limited evidence for this suggestion and that poverty, social exclusion and unsupported or inadequate parenting are the cause rather than the illness or disability.
