Capita’s National Learning Disabilities Conference takes a holistic look at the progress made on Valuing People Now (VPN) since its implementation. Showcasing best practice initiatives on delivering improved services for people with learning disabilities, their families and carers.

With positive steps being taken on the VPN agenda it is essential to maintain momentum and avoid complacency. Recent findings from the Care Quality Commission on the inconsistencies of specialist in-patient care highlights the need for a concerted, cross-sector effort to improve outcomes for people with learning disabilities.
