Learning Disabilities
In the UK, approximately 1.5 million people have a learning disability. At Voyage Care, we support over 3,500 incredible individuals with a learning disability and associated complex needs to live meaningful and fulfilled lives.
Our Support
Our specialist learning disability support is delivered by expertly trained teams in a variety of settings. From a few hours of support at home, to 24-hour support at one of our registered care homes across the UK, we ensure you’re supported in a way that meets your needs and helps you achieve your goals and aspirations.
Individuals with a learning disability may need different levels of support throughout their lives, from occasional guidance to more hands-on care. Our support helps you to develop everyday skills, build meaningful relationships, and explore education or work opportunities.
Specially trained treams
Our teams complete specialist learning disability training, empowering them to effectively support people with a wide range of complex needs, including:
Positive Behavioural Support (PBS)
Through Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), we engage the people we support and their families to identify triggers and patterns. We work together to find ways to manage and reduce behaviours.
Mental health & dementia
Alongside getting to know you as an individual, our teams receive mental health and dementia training. They’ll be empowered to spot when you aren’t yourself and support you through tough times.
Communication
We nurture an open and honest culture and invite freedom of expression. If you need some tools to support self-expression, our teams have plenty for you to choose from. Many of our services support Makaton, British Sign Language, and other creative communication methods!
Relationships
We understand the power of relationships and encourage the people we support to build and maintain connections with others. Through person-centred support, we help you develop social skills and work through challenges you experience, so you can establish meaningful relationships with others.
Community connections
We connect with local communities to create meaningful opportunities for the people we support. Whether you want to go to college to learn new skills, give back to the community through volunteering, or access exciting activities, we ensure we make the right connections so you can do the things that matter to you the most!
Our ethos
The people we support are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on our position in the sector, ensuring we advocate for individual choices and promote the freedom to live fulfilling lives.
Health equalities:
We believe everyone has the right to live a happy, healthy life. Many people with a learning disability struggle to access health services and suffer from health inequalities. Our teams change that. If you’re not feeling great, they’ll help you get the treatment you need. They’ll also work with you to schedule important screenings and check-ups, so you can safely and effectively manage your health.
Equal opportunities and diversity:
We ensure our learning disability support teams receive disability awareness, equality and diversity, and autism training, ensuring your unique values and ethics are understood and you’re treated with the dignity and respect you deserve.
Our approach
Our approach to supporting you is what makes us unique. We use person-centred support, which means we put you at the heart of your care. From the moment you join us, you’re in the driving seat of decision-making and we’ll work with you to create the life you want live.
As part of our specialist approach to supporting people with a learning disability, we get to know you as an individual, gaining a deeper understanding of the life you want to live. Together, we draw a picture of what your support will look like and set the scene for a bright future.
