Supported Loving: Opening a can of worms

LDT publishes Dr Claire Bates’ blog challenging ingrained cultural barriers to love and sex.

Most adults (married or not) share a bed with their partner. Choice Support’s Quality Analyst and founder of Supported Loving, Dr Claire Bates, writes a blog on findings from her recent social media poll which asked why so few people with learning disabilities sleep with a partner.

Delivering Different News

The Institute of Health Visiting is looking for people to take part in a survey. They would like to talk to anyone who works as part of a team delivering different news to families during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Interviews will take place at a time and location to suit, and will last no more than an hour. The researchers are offering a shopping voucher to all contributors to say thank you for taking time to complete the survey.
