Learning disability care: what it means

The goal is simple to state: adults with a learning disability get support to lead the lives they want. In practice that can mean building everyday skills, going to health appointments, finding work or a course, and keeping up friendships. The best services put the person's own wishes first and follow the CQC guidance known as "Right support, right care, right culture".
