About this listen

 Welcome to our new podcast series from the Challenging Behaviour Foundation, for all parents, carers and professionals who support people with severe learning disabilities. At CBF we know first hand how isolating and exhausting supporting someone with complex needs can be. In this series of podcasts we hope to offer support, advice and encouragement to help navigate the pressures of caring and , most importantly we’ll be speaking to other carers and families about how they manage everyday, and we hope hearing their stories will give you a little boost

    Our much anticipated episode featuring Luke Clements, Cerebra Professor of Law at Leeds University. Hugely knowledgeable, a member of the Challenging Behaviour Foundation's Legal Panel and champion for family carers everywhere. We discuss the law; how it should work, how it sometimes doesn't work and how it changes as your young person transitions to adulthood.

    Our family carers continue their discussions diving deep into the complexities of navigating the system: deputyship, best interests, annual health checks, and the emotional realities of lifelong caring. If you've been wondering how to ensure your young person's rights are upheld, this episode is for you - jargon free explanations from those who are already living it.
