The information requested is not held. The UK’s programmes in fragile and conflict affected states seek to meet the needs of vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, including children.

For example, specialist paediatric centres in Jordan are supporting children with behavioural and physical disabilities. We are pioneering the use of new assessment tools to help meet the needs of children with disabilities in opposition held areas of Syria.
