This book is important for workers supporting people with a learning disability as it explores the important concepts of duty of care. The book also explores how to resolve potential dilemmas that might arise between the person’s rights and the worker's duty of care. The book also looks at how to support people with a learning disability and their families to complain and how to respond to complaints.

This book puts the person with a learning disability at the centre of the support you give. It uses real life stories, activities and thinking points to cover all of the learning outcomes and is full of practical examples of how to apply the ideas to the support that you provide.

The book is designed to support the Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Health and Social Care (learning disability pathway) and the Common Induction Standards and in particular:

Level 2 - Introduction to duty of care in health and social care or children's and young people's settings
Level 3 - Principles for implementing duty of care in health and social care or children's and young people's settings

If you are starting work with people with a learning disability and are undertaking your induction, studying for the level 2 or 3 diplomas in health and social care, or you want the right information to help your personal development, then Duty of care for learning disability workers is for you.

'I like the presentation style, it is very user friendly and it meets the needs of learners at this level. We recommend this whole series to the organisations that use our services.'
