Ensuring that learning disability training makes a difference – what needs to happen?

The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) was commissioned in 2019 by the South Regional Health Education England Intellectual Disabilities programme to find and share best practice in training people who work in NHS Trusts to support people with learning disabilities. The aim is to support staff development to help them achieve better outcomes when they are working with people with learning disabilities. Further information about the project can be found here.

The final stage of this work was a workshop with a range of people from NHS Trusts and other partners, to discuss what needs to happen at different levels of the system to ensure that mandatory training on learning disability is making a genuine difference.
