| Annotation | The contributors to this book consider the management and practice of intimate and personal care for people with learning disabilities. Part 1 focuses on the wider context of intimate and personal care provision. The editors describe their research with support workers on attitudes to their care provision role. Contributors variously consider a "person-centred approach" in relation to: ethnicity and culture; sexuality; and health and hygiene. Part 1 ends with a discussion of the role played by policies and procedures in the delivery of intimate and personal care. Part 2 concentrates on "best practice", starting with a critical look at the characteristics of multi-disciplinary working. The remaining chapters focus on care needs of particular groups. These include adults with mild learning disabilities (and promoting their independence); adults with profound or multiple learning disabilities (and supporting planned dependence); and older people with learning disabilities. A concluding chapter reflects on the issues, concerns and dilemmas raised. (RH). |
