This paper explores the issues associated with death and dying from the perspective of people with learning disabilities, and considers proactive ways of working in this sensitive area.

The issue of men with learning disabilities who offend sexually has received scant attention but is important for many practitioners in group care settings. This article argues that there is no absolute prescription for working with sexual abusers or offenders, but a recognition that some men with learning disabilities do engage in sexually abusive behaviour is the first step in establishing appropriate responses.

The White Paper Valuing People: A New Strategy for Learning Disability for the 21st Century, is shaped by the principles of Legal and Civil Rights, Independence, Choice and Inclusion. These principles are laudable, but this paper argues that in matters of health that are not within the experiences of adults with learning disabilities, a duty of care should override the elusive mantra of ‘choice’.
