"Young people who have learning disabilities are at particular risk of having
poor financial management skills. Most of them have been in a position where their family or carers take care of all of their finances, so they have not been exposed to - or had the opportunity to see - how financial management works. The world is a rapidly changing place, which can be particularly daunting for a young person with learning disabilities. Now more than ever, it is essential that we support them to develop the skills they need
to live independently." - INTRODUCTION
