Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000

New Section 17B

37.This makes similar provision for vouchers to that contained in section 3 of the Act.  It inserts a new section 17B into the Children Act which will enable the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the National Assembly for Wales, to make provision in regulations for the issue of vouchers by local authorities to persons with parental responsibility for disabled children to enable such persons to arrange for someone to care for their disabled child while they take a short break from their caring responsibilities.
