| 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.
