Like the wider population, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are living longer; into their 70s and beyond. Health care disparities have been well-documented for this vulnerable and underserved population. The authors’ aim in this discussion was to draw attention to the limited presence of social workers in the IDD field, the lack of educational opportunities to support current and future social workers in this field and the impact of these trends on the health disparities experienced by people ageing with IDD. Social workers are often responsible for assessment, coordination of care, and negotiation of necessary and appropriate services for people with IDD. The authors explore the challenges facing social workers in meeting the growing health and social needs of aging adults with IDD and their families.

Reports on a study using vignettes to examines the understanding and application of the concept of duty of care by health and social care staff working in learning disability services, and the relationship of this to promoting client choice. The study found that health care staff had a significantly broader understanding of the concept of duty of care than social care staff, and were significantly more likely to emphasises client safety. Discusses the implications of the findings.

Investigates the relationship between professional background, length of experience, understanding of the term 'challenging behaviour' and opinions of factors important in managing challenging behaviour in people with learning disabilities. Health workers identified significantly more definition criteria than social care workers, yet no significant difference was found between their overall scores for management criteria. Implications of the findings are discussed.
