The purpose of this practice guidance is to: help services to improve their support for parents with a learning disability and their children, increase the chances of the children of parents with a learning disability continuing to live with them in a positive and supportive environment that meets the children’s needs, and Increase the chances of avoiding family breakdown which has enormous social and financial consequences. The guidance is for both adult and children’s services. In particular, it is for commissioners of education and social work services, and for all service providers. A key aspect of good practice is multi-agency working and thus this guidance is concerned with social work, health and education services and with the role of both statutory and independent sector services.
