Conclusion (the committee's words)
Ensuring that disabled children are safe from harm is, of course, extremely important. In some circumstances, such as where there is evidence of risk of harm or abuse to the child, a child protection approach may be appropriate and, indeed, necessary. (Conclusion, Paragraph 62)
