People with profound and multiple learning disabilities are some of the most excluded in society. The Involve Me project focuses on how to involve them in decision-making and consultation. This guide to how to involve people with profound and multiple learning disabilities is partly based on an independent evaluation of the Involve Me project. It includes a description of the 4 Involve Me sites and approaches to involvement, and a summary of recommendations from the evaluation. The guide covers involvement in choice and decision-making, capacity and consent for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, the key Involve Me messages, and information about the accompanying DVD resource which contains information and materials to support the Involve Me key messages.

The Involve Me project focuses on how to involve people with profound and multiple learning disabilities in decision-making and consultation. It defines people with multiple learning disabilities as those who have more than one disability, have a profound learning disability, have great difficulty communicating, need high levels of support, may have additional sensory or physical disabilities or complex health needs or mental health difficulties, and may have challenging behaviours. This short booklet provides a summary of the project, the 8 key Involve Me messages, and what is on the accompanying Involve Me DVD resource.
