The Office of the National Co-Directors for Learning Disability asked the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities to look at whether the experiences of adults with learning disabilities and their families were getting better in the context of Valuing People Now and its associated Equality Impact Assessment. Databases and other resources were used to identify articles, reports, websites and information focusing on specific topics in relation to people with learning disabilities: ageing and older people; gender; sexual orientation and identity; religion, belief and spirituality; race, culture and ethnicity; and relationships, sex and parenting. For each topic, the report sets out evidence of action or change since January 2009, emerging issues, and examples of good practice. The report includes brief discussion of the issues raised.
