Our learning disability offer
We provide specialised, person-centred support for adults with a learning disability who may also have additional needs and can also help with accommodation if required, in partnership with trusted housing providers

The process
Initial assessment
Once a referral has been made through the appropriate channel, we will carry out a comprehensive assessment with the person requiring support, their family, and other professionals involved in their care. We will work to fully understand their needs and goals and identify what the right support looks like.
Support plans
We work collaboratively with an individual to build a personalised support plan, in line with Care Quality Commission (CQC) fundamental standards. We will learn the person’s history and circumstances, their needs, interests and skills, and include them, their families and carers (where appropriate) to identify clear goals and outcomes.
Ongoing support
We recognise the needs of the people we support are constantly changing and developing. We hold monthly progress meetings and formal annual care reviews to discuss what is going well, what might need to change and to track progress towards achieving personal outcomes.
Our amazing people
“My support staff have encouraged me and helped me to seek out voluntary employment doing my DJing, which has been a dream of mine for a long time.
I now DJ for other people AFG support and at community events.”
