Providing Support at Home for Children and Young People who have Complex Health Needs discusses elements of providing support in the home, which influence the quality of provision. This includes: the rationale for providing support at home, the child being central to the provision of support, taking into account the needs of the whole family, working closely with parents, working in the family home, choices and rights, supporting adolescents, team working, ethical issues, political and organisational issues. Case studies are used to illustrate the points raised.
