Abstract	Family members of children with disabilities have become more involved in their children's care and have adopted the role of primary caregiver. Due to the varying degrees of the condition, children with cerebral palsy (CP) often require greater involvement from their caregivers. Fifteen caregivers for children with CP residing in rural communities of the Western Cape, South Africa, were interviewed to explore the barriers and facilitators that they encountered. Thematic analysis revealed that some progress has been made in terms of service provision to caregivers from previously disadvantaged communities. However, a lot more needs to be done to help caregivers with children with CP. Social support, increased public awareness of the causes of disability, financial support by the government and access to disability friendly services, such as respite care, special education and transport-related services, have been identified as essential. It is important to take this into consideration when designing future interventions in order to provide caregivers with support and services necessary to make an impact. (As Provided).
