We have recently developed 2 e-learning modules as part of the new Expert Parent Programme: Complex Health Needs and Transition, funded by Together for Short Lives. 

These modules are aimed at parent carers of children and young people with complex health needs and a learning difficulty. 

• Planning for an Uncertain Future looks at some of the key challenges families may face when their son or daughter moves into adulthood and prepares to move onto adult services.

• Supported Decision-making and the Mental Capacity Act builds on the knowledge of each person’s human right to make a decision about themselves, and how legislation supports and protects this. As well as the part that parent carers play once their child turns 16.
