The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities has developed a tool to help staff and families to work better together.  This article reports on the development of the training resource called Learning with Families where the contents were developed by family carers, who are also being encouraged to deliver the training, alongside professionals, to staff who work in learning disability services, in order to improve their understanding of the experiences of families.
