Looks at the staff development strategy devised as part of the Education and Training for Change (ETCH) programme for Basildon and Thurrock services for people with learning disabilities. The strategy covers all staff in the service, and takes account of the needs of staff facing possibly imminent hospital closure. The model of mutual support that underpins the new strategy is described: it offers a positive view of change and an interpretation of hospital closure that has implications for both training provision and service management.
