Learning disabilities
Having a learning disability means that people find it harder to learn certain life skills. This varies from person to person but may include aspects such as learning new information, communication, managing money, reading, writing, or personal care.
Adult social care services can help you to be as independent as possible, and can offer support to your carers to make this happen. The aim is for you to live the life you choose in the community of your choice, with the same opportunities as others to lead a fulfilling life.
We ensure access to education, work and leisure opportunities, with the same rights as any person to live where they want, with whom they want and in safety.
