Professor Kathy Lowe presentation to BILD Active Support conference

Professor Kathy Lowe of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University
Health Board presentation on Practice Leadership within Active Support to the BILD conference, Active Support and Positive Behaviour Support - a good fit creating the right conditions, which took place in Leeds on 18 March 2016.
Active Support is a method of enabling people with learning disabilities to engage more in their daily lives. Active Support changes the style of support from ‘caring for’ to ‘working with’, it promotes independence and supports people to take an active part in their own lives. The support given to the person is also active. Active Support enables people with learning disabilities to live ordinary lives.
