We asked about the wellbeing of disabled or seriously ill children, their non disabled siblings, and their and parents\/carers. Also, parent\/carers shared about their experiences of support for their disabled child in their educational placement. We particularly looked at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How this impacted on the parent\/carers ability to work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If additional costs for disabled children in taking part in education arose.
