Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It is fair to acknowledge that there are polarised views about direct therapy versus supporting the primary carer and the family. I meet parents every day who say they just want direct therapy for their child, but I also meet professionals every day who say that that is not a productive way to support the child. There are professional views and differences about it. At the moment, the model is family-centred. One of the things I have asked all people working in CDNTs to do is to be appropriately flexible and not rigid in how we apply that.
