WEBINAR: 23 October 14:00-15:00

ARC Learning Disability and Autism Research Unit

Clive Parry and Rod Landman from ARC England presented a deep dive into the ARC Learning Disability and Autism Research Unit.

What is the ARC Research Unit?

The ARC England Learning Disability Research Unit is a strategic research programme, launched in July 2022, that provides improved data for the learning disability and autism adult social care sector.

The development of the learning disability adult social care sector has long been hindered by poor understanding and a lack of available data with which to illustrate the sector’s challenges and achievements. The ARC England Learning Disability Research Unit is designed to enable a step-change in the understanding and appreciation of this large part of the broader social care sector.  The research programme allows new insight into the size, value, structure and dynamics of the sector, identifying best practice and innovation and providing a knowledge base to inform business planning and shape future policy making.

The webinar

A dedicated webinar for NCF members to learn how to get involved in the ARC Research Unit to help build better data and information on providers’ challenges from the Learning Disability and Autism sector.
