Sharon McGregor, Dominic Jarrett, Ailsa Stewart - University of Strathclyde, East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership, and North Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership,

Families including a parent or parents with a learning disability can often have complex needs linked to issues such as poverty and mental health, and are known to be overrepresented in child care proceedings. Previous local project work with 12 families had demonstrated the potential of providing intensive support to parents with a learning disability, as well as others without a learning disability who were vulnerable for other reasons. A follow-up project 16 years later sought to re-engage with those families in order to explore their outcomes.
