This is a handbook of information about learning disability services for people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities. It lists information on national organisations and policies which provide support to families and people with learning disabilities who are from a BME background. The handbook starts by providing information on Language Line, a telephone interpretation service which most public authorities and a number of charities are able to access. The organisations and information provided in this handbook are listed under the following categories: key contacts; sources of information; health and information on specific conditions; BME social care issues; financial help; leisure; sport; advocacy; holidays and travel; moving on from children’s to adult services; and further help and resources.
