This report summarises the findings of original research commissioned by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in the UK carried out by the University of Edinburgh/NSPCC Child Protection Research Centre to address a significant gap in current understandings of deaf and disabled children and young people's experiences of the child protection system.
The cases presented include those in which a child experienced abuse in the family of origin and was placed into foster care, those in which a child experienced abuse by a foster parent or residential care worker, and those in which a child disclosed his/her experience of abuse to a foster parent.
