Active Support

This active support course is ideal for all support workers within learning disability settings.

Introduction

Active Support is a proven model of support that supports people with learning disabilities to plan the best use of their time, with the correct level of support, to engage or participate in all activities that make up day-to-day living. It empowers and motivates, changing the focus of support from caring for to supporting and working with. We must remember that the inclusion and engagement of people with learning disabilities is highly dependent on staff teams. Active Support underpins all areas of health and social care as it is so person-centred.
