"An increasing number of adults with learning difficulties are becoming parents. In about 50% of cases their children are removed from them, usually as a result of concerns for their well-being and/or an absence of appropriate support. This study set out to map the issues confronting parents and professionals in this area, along with strategies for
positive practice in providing parents with learning difficulties and their children with 'the right support' to stay together as a family." - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
