About the event:

Care and support services for people with learning disabilities are set to change dramatically. Following the Winterbourne View Report there will be imminent reforms to inspection, regulation and safeguarding requirements and a drive to offer community-based support in place of long term residential care.

Our National Learning Disabilities Conference will explore the impact of national policy developments, the changing benefits landscape and the impact of the Winterbourne View Report on local services and support for people with learning disabilities.
