Join an open access webinar that will explore key messages from a new research briefing on the role of Adults' Services in supporting parents with a learning disability.

During the session, attendees will hear key messages from the NIHR-funded research. We will discuss implications for practice, legal proceedings and joint working between Adults’ and Children’s Services when supporting parents with learning disabilities and their children.
