This one-day in-person workshop is for people working in support services for adults with learning disabilities. Taking a rights-based approach, it will explore the area of sexuality and relationships, laying the ground for providing better support to individuals in all areas of personal relationships and sexuality.

Learning Outcomes

Through a range of discussions, case studies and activities, learners will develop an understanding of:

  • The policy framework
  • How we learn about relationships
  • How to support individuals in their personal relationships
  • The effect that personal belief, culture and preferences have on personal relationships
  • The conflicts that may occur in providing support with personal relationships
  • Basic knowledge of human sexuality
  • Basic knowledge of legal aspects and their impact on people with learning disabilities
  • How attitudes and values affect our ability to support service users

Other requirements: Attendees should bring a copy of their organisation’s policy on sexuality and personal relationships.

The programme is sufficiently flexible to allow for learners to air and share their own concerns, issues and successes. If there are specific cases you wish to discuss that are not included in the outline content above please email the workshop facilitator: rod.landman@arcuk.org.uk.
