Learning Disabilities

Providing Exceptional Care

Who we support

Everyone deserves a life that feels like theirs—filled with choice, connection, and the right kind of support. Our learning disabilities service is strengths-based, rights-led, and truly person-centred. We help children, young people, and adults live well at home (family home or own tenancy), building confidence and independence at a pace that feels safe.

People with mild to profound learning disabilities
Co-occurring needs such as autism, ADHD, epilepsy, sensory differences, or physical disabilities
Behaviours that communicate distress (“behaviours of concern”)
Mental health needs, anxiety, or trauma history
Transition points: moving from children’s to adult services, leaving education, or moving into a first tenancy

What we do (practical, respectful, person-centred)

Daily living & personal care
Unhurried support with washing, dressing, continence, oral care, periods, skincare, and safe mobility—always protecting privacy and choice.
Communication your way
Visual supports, easy-read documents, social stories, objects of reference, AAC/technology, and calm, clear communication that matches processing speed and preferences.
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
Proactive plans that reduce distress and increase quality of life: understanding triggers, building skills, offering meaningful choices, and using low-arousal, non-restrictive approaches.
Skills for independence
Cooking, cleaning, laundry, budgeting, shopping, travel training, appointment confidence, and safe use of technology—broken into achievable steps.
Health & medication
Prompts or administration (as agreed), MAR charts, health action plans, support to attend GP, dentist, optician, and annual health checks; seizure protocols where required.
Sensory & routine support
Sensory-friendly spaces, pacing and predictability, visual timetables, and gentle transitions to reduce anxiety.
Meaningful days
College, day opportunities, volunteering, sport, clubs, faith and cultural activities—planning transport and support so participation feels easy and enjoyable.
Community & relationships
Building social confidence, friendship skills, personal safety, and respectful support around dating and boundaries.
Household help that actually helps
Keeping home tidy and safe, meal planning, hydration, and environment checks to reduce falls and overwhelm.
Family support & real respite
Practical coaching, clear updates, flexible breaks, and liaison with schools/colleges and professionals.

Clinical tasks (where assessed and competency-signed): epilepsy rescue meds, enteral feeding, catheter/stoma care, dysphagia/texture-modified diets, pressure-area care.

Our approach

Co-production plans written with the person and their circle of support, in accessible formats.
Strengths & interests first build on what lights the person up; goals that feel motivating and possible.
Positive risk-taking safe, supported opportunities to try new things and grow confidence.
Consistency that calms predictable routines, clear boundaries, and kind, steady staff.
Culturally sensitive language, faith, gender, and dietary needs respected.

Flexible ways to receive support

Hourly visits (mornings/evenings, after-school, weekends)
Daytime cover at home or in the community
Overnights (sleeping or waking) for reassurance and safety
Live-in support for 24/7 consistency
1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 staffing where risk assessments indicate
Short-break respite planned or short-notice
Transition support when moving home, changing education, or starting work
