When both the PM and the leader of the opposition have parented a disabled child - Cameron lost his son Ivan, who had epilepsy and cerebral palsy in February - the future should, in theory, be bright(er) for disabled children and their families.

But a revealing, moving and non-judgemental 50 minutes of television last night begged to differ, showing that many parents of disabled children don't feel optimistic. At all.

At Community Care we're proud of our campaigning stance on issues such as the media distortion of social work. But it looks like women's weekly magazine Take a Break might be trying to outdo us.
