`Sinson's research has two particular pointers for practitioners. First, she uses interviews based on data collected from services to explore the views of people with learning disabilities. The result is a conversational account which makes for easier and empathetic reading... Second, Sinson pointedly relates her findings to the work of practitioners...She makes recommendations about linkages between parts of people's lives to each other, such as relating self-advocacy classes to real-life activities. She also draws attention to some very good practice in relation to risk-taking by organisations, for example, the independence encouraged on holidays and learning from mistakes.' - Journal of Social Work Practice `Of interest to all those concerned with community care.' - Aslib Book Guide The current debate over the transfer of people with developmental disabilities from hospitals to the community has raised serious concerns about the benefits of community integration, with some suggesting that it is both a cruel and costly policy. Whilst the Department of Health is examining the alternative strategy of caring for people with severe developmental disabilities in residential or `village communities', there are conflicting reports about which policy is the most appropriate and the most cost effective. This book presents the client's perspective on transition and relocation into community living, using the experiences of staff, families and residents, largely in their own words. Tracing the steps of ex-residents of Wentwood Education near Devizes in Wiltshire, a college for adolescents with developmental disabilities, the author follows their progress through the community and the problems they face. She concludes that `the unique highpowered training for community integration and leisure given by Wentwood gave these young disadvantaged students a distinct advantage in life'.

'Joe is Joe, a different label is not going to make him suddenly think he is someone else' (Joe's Mum) Quotations like this about five year old Joe are used to illustrate this text, which draws on the experience of learning disabilities in the family. Peter Burke and Katy Cigno provide helpful definitions and reflect on some preliminary, but important theoretical ideas linking to social exclusion and vulnerability. Drawing on research and experience, different aspects of family lives are illustrated in all their diversity. The implications of stressful times, major upheavals and transitions for family members are examined in detail, indicating when help from professionals should be readily available. "Learning Disabilities in Children "introduces the theory relating to learning disabilities from the family perspective, and includes an examination of support systems for parents, caregivers and siblings. The authors emphasize why contact from service providers is necessary, particularly those based in health, education and welfare agencies. In addition, the need to give power to children and families as a multi-agency responsibility is addressed, with the aim of promoting positive practice in the professional sector for the benefit of the children involved. "Learning Disabilities in Children "is a useful resource for postgraduates specializing in child welfare, social work and community care. It will also be of interest to social workers, community caregivers, healthcare professionals and teachers, as well as to families where there is a child with learning disabilities. Key features: *Based on the experience of families with children who have learning disabilities *A practical guide for professionals and care givers seeking to clarify and understand family needs *Explains how a more inclusive partnership between children, their families and professionals may be achieved *Includes a chapter on child development *Provides a unifying framework for working in the complex field of childhood learning disabilities. Learning Disabilities in Children is a useful resource for postgraduates specializing in child welfare, social work and community care. It will also be of interest to social workers, community caregivers, healthcare professionals and teachers, and families where there is a child with learning disabilities.

This book is both a timely and challenging exploration of providing personal care for people with learning disabilities, an area of care provision that tends to be neglected in comparison with high profile areas of care management today. Well researched and presented, there is comprehensive coverage of all main aspects of providing intimate and personal care, ranging from the wider context (culturally sensitive provision, sexuality, health and hygiene, and law) to more specific practice areas (multi-disciplinary working, teaching independent living skills, people with profound/multiple disabilities, children and young people and older adults).' - Professional Social Work 'Intimate and Personal Care with People with learning Disabilities edited by Steven Carnaby and Paul Cambridge (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, £19.99) is an academic book but it is fascinating and written to inform and change practice. Giving intimate care is possibly the most difficult and complex area of care work, yet it is rarely analysed and understood in this sort of depth. We tend to write rather pompous and detached policies about dignity and privacy and they don't actually help staff to discuss and think through the realities that they face when helping clients with the most intimate situations. Care plans may generalise and skate over the details, leaving residents and staff to do their best in situations that are personally and professionally challenging. This is a book for managers (of care homes of all kinds) who want to develop their team's capacity to think and to understand, and thereby to provide the very best care.' - Caring Times 'Probably the first substantial discussion of and guide to this essential area of care practice. A wideranging volume which deserves to be read and kept as a reference volume by all professional teams providing intimate care.' - Current Awareness Service This important guide is the first to consider the management and practice of intimate and personal care for people with learning disabilities. It examines in detail aspects of care such as training, ethnicity, sexuality and competence in practice, drawing on the extensive practical experience of the contributors. They discuss important issues including the nature of touch, how physical contact is intended and experienced, carers' duty of care, and risk management. Against the backdrop of a recent government strategy for people with learning disabilities, the book will also explore management considerations of best value, care standards, performance monitoring and inspection. Providing academic, professional and learning outcomes from research, this book will be an invaluable guide to managers, policy makers, carers, academics and students in the field of social care and learning disability.

Despite many studies of families where there is a child with a learning disability, it is clear that such children do not, from the beginning of their life, enjoy the same opportunities as others. inequality is also experienced by their carers, almost always parents, in their day-to-day lives. This study, through the views of carers, considers the formal and informal networks used by families. The book is in two parts. Part one reviews the literature and introduces the research. Part two gives basic qualitative and quantative information about the subjects of the study, includes detailed care studies and examines the kind of support received. This provides a picture of the resources families use, and helps identify gaps in the support that is available. The book concludes with the arguments for a holistic approach to services for families and looks at what remains to be done to meet their needs.
