This course is designed to help learners build the confidence and understanding needed to support individuals with learning disabilities in a safe, respectful and person centred way. It introduces the wider context of learning disability support, helping learners recognise the importance of dignity, independence and individual choice in everyday care.

Safeguarding principles are reinforced throughout, ensuring learners understand how to protect vulnerable individuals, recognise concerns and respond appropriately. The course also highlights the value of personalisation, encouraging learners to shape support around each person’s unique needs, preferences and goals.

Learners explore the importance of positive risk taking, helping individuals build confidence, develop new skills and enjoy greater independence while still maintaining safety. Introductory awareness of autistic spectrum conditions supports better understanding, improved communication and more inclusive approaches.

The course also focuses on helping individuals with learning disabilities access healthcare confidently and safely, reducing barriers and ensuring their needs are clearly understood.

Ideal for new and experienced care workers, support staff or anyone working in social care, this course strengthens practical understanding and helps learners deliver compassionate, empowering and high quality support.
