It was attended by 52 Professionals from Health, Social Care, Education and the voluntary sector along with 42 family carers of children or adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. 3 adults with learning disabilities and their supporters also attended.

The event followed the format of a ‘World Café’. This year there were eight tables with one topic on each table. This was as a result of feedback from people attending the previous year’s event who felt they needed more time to discuss fewer topics.
