Claire


MY LIFE, MY WAY

The family of Claire Steeples, 43, tell her story, where determination and the
use of a personal budget to buy care, have transformed Claire's life.

Malachy


WILL THINGS CHANGE AFTER LOCKDOWN?

Cathy and Mark share their experience of lockdown, in which they fully isolated
as a family bubble - a way of living that was not entirely new to them.

Laura


PICA: KATE AND LAURA’S STORY

Laura has a severe learning disability. She has a great happy life but her
mother's greatest concern for Laura is her Pica behaviour, or eating objects not
suitable to be eaten.


INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE

We hold a broad range of information and guidance about challenging behaviour
and connected issues, including information sheets, FAQs, packs, templates and
DVDs.

See all information


POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT

We offer information resources about Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), which is
a person-centred approach to supporting people with a learning disability.


PERSON-CENTRED SUPPORT

Our resources give information about different aspects of communication and
teaching new skills, support packages, transition planning and planning for the
future.


HEALTH

Our resources give information about healthcare, answering your frequently asked
questions on topics such as consenting to treatment and reasonable adjustments.


EARLY INTERVENTION

We have produced resources showing how methods using early intervention can
reduce the severity and frequency of challenging behaviour and improve quality
of life.


WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

The information on this page will help you understand what is meant by poor
support and abuse, and who to talk to if you suspect your relative is coming to
harm or not being cared for properly.


WELLBEING OF FAMILY

The wellbeing of the whole family is of paramount importance to harmony and
happiness; our resources provide advice and tips on how to keep parents,
siblings and children well.


RIGHTS AND THE LAW

Our factsheets, FAQS and templates give valuable information about you and your
family members’ legal rights.


COVID-19

We are constantly updating and sharing resources that may provide some useful
information and tips to you and your families during the pandemic.
