Training and consultancy: learning disability

Sexuality, sex, relationships and learning disability

   FPA trainers are experienced in working with a range of people with
   learning disabilities, including those who have high support needs.

   We can provide you with expert support to:
     * develop a sexuality and relationships policy for your organisation
     * provide sessions for parents to help them gain skills and
       confidence in dealing with issues of sex, sexuality and
       relationships with their children
     * commission staff training to help your staff feel more confident
       about working with people with learning disabilities.

   If you would like to discuss any of these options then email
   training@fpa.org.uk.

   If our suggested range of sessions or courses doesn't suit your needs
   then we can tailor work meet your requirements – just tell us what you
   need.

Developing a sexuality and relationships policy with guidelines

   Experienced FPA trainers can work with nominated individuals to develop
   a sexuality and relationships policy suitable for your organisation.

   Such policies, with accompanying guidelines, are essential to help your
   staff know the boundaries of the work they will carry out and to give
   them guidance about how to respond to different situations concerning
   clients’ sexuality needs.

   Such policies are also essential for clients and service users so that
   they are clear about their sexual rights and about what they can expect
   from staff.

Sessions for parents of people with learning disabilities

   Experienced FPA trainers can provide a one-day session to help them
   gain skills and confidence in dealing with issues of sex, sexuality and
   relationships and helping their children stay safe.

   Typically, a session will include:
     * helping parents and carers develop strategies to communicate with
       their children concerning relationships, sex and sexuality
     * evaluating resources suitable for working with their children at
       home
     * examining some of the legislation relating to sexuality and
       learning disability
     * considering how their values and beliefs impact on how they
       communicate with their children.

Staff training for professionals working with people with learning
disabilities

   Experienced FPA trainers can provide a wide range of one-day, two-day
   and three-day courses for professionals working with people with
   learning disabilities.

   Courses range from our one-day Learning disabilities, sex, law and
   policy course or Sex and relationships work with people with learning
   disabilities course to our three- or four-day Delivering sex and
   relationships work with people with learning disabilities course.
