In July 2016, Oxfordshire Family Support Network (OxFSN) began a three-year project, Embolden, to support, advocate for and empower older family carers aged 60+ years who care for a family member with a learning disability.
This report is dedicated to the 215 family carers who brought Embolden to life.

Welcome to the 6th and final edition of the Em.bold.en newsletter. The Embolden project was started in 2017 to give a stronger voice to older families who have relatives with learning disabilities to influence decision makers, hold them to account and improve services. We are just about to complete the final year of the Comic Relief three-year funded project although OxFSN will continue to support and raise the profile of older family carers in everything they do.

This course is for family carers of children or adults with learning disabilities and is OCN (Open College Network) accredited.
We are particularly looking for people who want to use their lived experience as a family carers to develop further skills in order to support other families (ideally working with us at OXFSN).
We also welcome people who want to do the course for their own (and their family members’) benefit.
