Moving and handling
The Commissioner has heard from a number of young people and children with disabilities and their parents about the negative impact moving and handling can have on their day to day lives.
The children and young people described feeling embarrassed, humiliated, undignified and excluded because of moving and handling difficulties.
They say they can't take part fully in school and are unable to enjoy after school or other leisure activities.
