Reaching and Supporting Diverse Communities

hft_logoA guide to meeting the needs of people with learning disabilities, and family carers, from newly arrived, Black, Asian and other Minority Ethnic (BME) communities

Publication: Reaching and Supporting Diverse Communities: a guide to meeting the needs of people with learning disabilities, and family carers, from newly arrived, Black, Asian and other Minority Ethnic (BME) communities.

Family Carers from BME communities have been a priority group for Valuing People (the Government's national agenda for learning disabilities) since 2001. Hft's Family Carer Support Service (FCSS) was commissioned by the Valuing People Support Team to develop this resource, to provide a range of information about meeting the needs of families from BME and seldom heard communities. 

Reaching and Supporting Diverse Communities can be accessed as six different sections or as a whole pdf format. More information here.
