Forward Together Project in Kent and Medway

Yesterday, we hosted Taylor Anderson and Polly Somervell from the Challenging Behaviour Foundation’s Forward Together project. Their presentation to our Kent, Surrey, Sussex LD Community of Practice demonstrated how regional networks can drive real change for people with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge.

Watch the YouTube film and view the slides to see how they’re bringing family carers and professionals together, with 115 members already in Kent and Medway tackling transition, early years, older carers, and crisis support.
