Working with Adults

Working with Adults

Our staff and consultants have substantial expertise in the field of learning disabilities. We are innovative, flexible and creative.

 

We undertake development work to improve services and staff performance. We run regular events to promote good practice, share the outcomes of our work and encourage new ideas.

 

We are also actively involved in lobbying and giving feedback to government on policies that affect people with learning disabilities and their families.

  • local authorities

  • the voluntary and private sectors

  • the National Health Service
