Disabled children's parents pay average surcharge of £5 an hour

After spending hundreds of pounds on childcare over the summer holidays, millions of working parents cannot wait for school to restart this week. But new research shows that the parents of disabled children have been particularly hard hit, having to pay up to £1,200 extra for childcare over the summer. Such parents effectively pay an average surcharge of £5 an hour for their childcare, according to the report by the charity Working Families.
