Teeth brushing and mouth hygiene can often be challenging for people with a learning disability, leading to poorer oral health.

 

There are services and resources that can help and on Monday 5th October our Carers Connect session will feature advice from our lovely friend Sam at Community Dental Services CIC. ​​

​

This session is open to adults with a learning disability, parents, carers and professionals.

December Carers Connect

​

Scams and fraud schemes are always evolving and adults with a learning disability are sadly more vulnerable to these crimes.

​

On 7th December, we'll be joined by David Gillies, a Counter Fraud Specialist from the Essex and Kent Serious Crime Directorate, who will be telling us about the latest scams, how to stay safe online - and what to do if you have concerns.

​

David will also be showcasing a new video book about the issues.

​

This session is open to adults with a learning disability, parents, carers and professionals.
