This film is about the sexual abuse of a man with learning disabilities in a care home. The events portrayed in the film highlight the importance of responding quickly and appropriately to signs and signals around adult abuse. The film and accompanying guidance notes are designed as a learning tool to raise the awareness of anyone who may come into contact with people with learning disabilities, whether in a health or social care setting. An important issue that is considered is the right of vulnerable people to have equal access to the criminal justice system.

The group who made this DVD is made up of people with learning disabilities and United Response staff. They want to show how often people with learning disabilities are mistreated in every day situations. The group was involved in every aspect of making the DVD, sometimes learning new skills along the way: from storyboarding to filming through to post production. The DVD develops skills to communicate and understand better. The DVD is made up of five dramas, each showing a different example of discrimination.

Using interviews with two parent carers, and with specialist input from Peter McGill (Senior Lecturer in Learning Disability at the University of Kent at Canterbury Tizard Centre), this 40 minute video gives a basic introduction to challenging behaviour associated with severe learning disabilities. The video has been produced for parents and carers of individuals with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour, or anyone wanting to understand what it can be like for the families involved.

This training film focuses on the topic of abuse of adults with learning disabilities across all kinds of environments, including care homes, in supported accommodation or living in the community. It defines abuse in an intentionally broad way, not only including more extreme cases. Relevant legislation is summarised and the key definitions of 'vulnerable adult' and 'significant harm' are explained. It is intended to raise awareness among care workers in the statutory, voluntary or private sectors and can be used as an aid when undertaking Learning Disability Awards Framework (LDAF) training.
