• Discussion in this paper is drawn from the literature examining the management of children with long‐term assisted ventilation, and a study of parents' experiences and views of caring for their ventilator‐dependent child at home. • Difficulties in undertaking research into this group of children are highlighted. • Recommendations are proposed regarding future multidisciplinary, multiagency service development in order to meet the needs of ventilator‐dependent children and their families.
