Community-based services for people with a learning disability (LDC)
These services provide care, treatment and support in the community for people with a learning disability, through a wide range of service models.

They employ a broad range of health and social care professionals mainly in multi-disciplinary teams.

They help people to live as independently as possible, manage their condition and improve it where this is possible. People using these services may receive support over a long period or for short-term interventions. They may move between the various community teams to ensure that their changing needs are met.
