A learning disability is where a person’s brain is damaged before birth or during childhood. It affects learning, memory, understanding, predicting and processing. Nothing is impossible but it is harder to meet everyday challenges to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.
How we support people with learning disabilities
We work closely with each individual and the people who are important to them. In this way, they get the support they want, in the way they want.
Whether you have a mild, moderate or profound learning disability, we will get to know you to find what support you need and also the things you like and dislike.
We will change your support plan as and when your needs and wishes change. We can support you whether you need only a few hours of support each week, some support every day or 24-hour care.
What we can support people to do
We can support you to:
Keep safe and healthy.
Live independently – either on your own, with friends or family or in shared accommodation.

Keep in touch with the people who are important to you.
