Seldom Heard Project Launch

April 1, 2021 By OxFSN Webmaster

The CBF and the Tizard Centre are working in partnership, supported by an advisory group, to seek the views and perspectives of children and adults with severe or profound and multiple learning disabilities.  

Everyone has the right to have a say about their own life and about wider issues that impact on them. This includes children, young people and adults with severe and profound and multiple learning disabilities. In reality, we know that these perspectives are seldom heard.  This can be because people think it is too difficult, but this is not true, it just requires more skilled, creative and personalised approaches.

The CBF and the Tizard Centre have been developing ways to improve how we seek the views of people with severe and profound learning disabilities. In recognition of the need to get better at seeking the views of children and adults with learning disabilities and with more complex communication challenges, NHS England has funded the Seldom Heard project.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Seldom Heard webpage today, which contains lots more information about the project and related work, including the first in our series of communication blogs.

Digitising Care: Personalised solutions for people with learning disabilities

November 17, 2020 By OxFSN Webmaster

How using digital tools and solutions affects personalised care for people with learning disabilities

OxFSN joined forces with Learning Disability England and Brighton and Hove Speak Up to help NHS England understand how using digital solutions (eg online meetings and appointments with medical professionals) will affect the care people with learning disabilities get. The Personalised Care Group at NHS England wanted to know how digital tools and solutions for personalised care can be inclusive and meet the accessibility requirements of people with learning disabilities.

At OxFSN we know as family carers that our family members whether children or adults need support – usually ours as parents – to get medical help.  Any changes in how that happened will affect our lives as family carers – for better or worse.

Three reports are available here:

  1. OxFSN – with family carers views
  2. Brighton and Hove Speak Up – with the views of people with learning disabilities
  3. Learning Disability England’s final report which included everyone’s views and was presented to the Personalised Care Group
