Welfare Rights Advice to people with learning disabilities
Fri 07-Jan-05 02:01 PM

I'm doing some research into advocacy and advice services for people with learning difficulties and in particular welfare rights advice and representation.

What methods of delivering WR advice have been developed for this group and how successful has it been - in both "advice" terms and in the wider developmental sense?

Work we are doing here has produced good results in "take-up" and in starting to develop services - but be good to find out about other initiatives and hear from people involved.

You can email me at [email protected] or post here.
