BILD publications

BILD is the UK’s leading publisher of books and journals that support the improvement of practice among professionals and help adults and children with a learning disability achieve a better quality of life.

Many of our titles draw directly on the latest research in the field, helping to encourage evidence-based practice at all levels and across different professional disciplines.

Our policy is to involve people with a learning disability in the development of text and illustrations for books designed for use by them to ensure that they are fully accessible.

The publications catalogue can be downloaded in PDF format by clicking here or alternatively, email t.tindell@bild.org.uk for a copy to be sent to you by post.
 

Joint venture between BILD and Heinemann

 

New Induction Award books

BILD and Heinemann have together produced learning materials for the new Induction Award which has replaced the LDAF qualification. The new qualification, which should be completed by all staff new to working with people with learning disabilities, links directly to the Common Induction Standards set out by Skills for Care and mandatory units of the S/NVQ in Health and Social Care, giving them a real focus on supporting people with learning disabilities.

Four study books will meet the learning outcomes for each of the four units:

- Principles of learning disability support
- Your role as a learning disability worker
- Health and safety in a learning disability service
- Protecting people who have a learning disability from abuse

The study books cover levels 2 and 3 of the Induction Award and provide underpinning knowledge for learners working towards the S/NVQ in Health and Social Care.

An accompanying trainer pack includes session plans and a DVD containing activity sheets, PowerPoint slides, video clips and pdfs of all four study books.

The books and the trainer pack are available to purchase.
