Overview

It is estimated that more than 1.2 million people in the UK are living with a learning disability. Healthcare and social care workers must have an adequate understanding of the needs of people with learning disabilities. It is also essential that they listen to the needs, hopes and aspirations of those living with learning disabilities, their careers, friends, and families.

An improved knowledge, together with current guidance and best practice recommendations help to improve the care provided to people who have learning disabilities.
