The Children with Disabilities Service (CWD) is a specialist service that works with the most severely disabled children and young people who meet the definition of disability as set out in the Equality Act, broadly speaking, where the disability is permanent and substantial and has a significant impact on their day-to-day functioning. The service works with children and young people aged 0-18. 

The Children With Disabilities service (CWD) works with disabled children, their families, educational settings, respite providers, healthcare providers and partner agencies to help ensure that every disabled child is supported to achieve their potential.

OFSTED UPDATE: In May 2023 Ofsted Inspectors praised West Sussex County Council’s Children’s Services for its ‘relentless approach to improving practice,’ giving the service an overall rating of ‘requires improvement’, with ‘good’ judgements for children in care and leadership and management. The judgements on children needing help and protection and children leaving care are they ‘require improvement to be good’. This rating is up from the last full inspection of Children’s Services back in 2019, when all areas were rated as inadequate. Inspectors recognised the ‘strong, determined and cohesive leadership team’ who have made significant improvements since 2019 and their commitment and focus to make further improvements.
