The present study aims to evaluate whether signposting to online peer support will be associated with a significant decrease in self-reported loneliness for parents of children with long-term conditions and disabilities. Parents of children with long-term conditions and disabilities will be randomised to either the treatment condition, being signposted to online peer support, or to the waitlist condition. Whether signposting to online peer support has an impact on social capital and anxiety and depression will also be investigated.
