Research in Practice

Dear All,

All staff can create a free account with research in practice. The evidence has already been evaluated and outcomes shared to make it easier for staff to keep up to date or make implementations to practice. You can register here: Create account | Research in Practice     The role of Adult and Children’s Services in better supporting parents with a learning disability 
A new briefing highlights how Adult Services can better support parents with a learning disability – an issue linked with increased involvement in the child protection system and, too often, family separation. 

Research shows that parents with learning disabilities are disproportionately represented in the child protection system and more likely to have their children removed. The publication forms part of a growing body of work that aims to strengthen practice, clarify legal responsibilities, and improve outcomes for parents and children.  Supporting Parents with a learning disability – the role of adult services: Research Briefing (2026) | Research in Practice
