Currently learning disability services face a number of challenges for building a workforce that reflects the needs of people that use services. Workforce development must: start with the needs of people who use services, using ‘best information’ to inform the process; establish partnerships to ensure the success of workforce development; including all key stakeholders, families and carers at all stages of the process; and focus on outcomes. Good quality services are informed by the needs wants and expectations of those using the service and should: advocate the social model of disability, promoting choice and control; promote and value anti- discriminatory practice; reflect the multi-cultural nature of communities; pursue a multi disciplinary approach; promote evidence-based practice; provide local and flexible delivery; and · incorporate evaluation and review by the participants, employer organisation, people with a learning disability, their families and service commissioners.
