• Enhance collaboration between all services providers, carers and people with a learning disability.

We do this by:

• Offering opportunities for networking, collaboration, exchange of ideas and development of best practice. In some areas, local groups hold regular meetings for members.
• Recognising and sharing best practice through the annual Linda McEnhill Award.
• Hosting learning events and supporting training opportunities.
