A for Adjustment - adjusted care resources to support health and care workers

The Learning Disability and Autism programme has commissioned a suite of resources that can help health and care workers to make reasonable adjustments to support people with learning disabilities and autistic people, to ensure they receive fair and equal access to services.

The resources are aimed at colleagues who do not regularly support people with learning disabilities and autism, and are separated into five sessions. The sessions include a plan, slides, supplementary information and case studies. The resources are complementary to those hosted by MindEd and e-Learning for Healthcare and are available to download using the links below. This learning resource is different to the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in Learning Disability and Autism.
