Most of all, we talked about the importance of listening, believing people, and involving families when assessing risk and need.This episode was recorded with the principles of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism firmly in mind, and aims to connect that learning to real-world frontline practice. Coming soon. 🎧 https://www.instagram.com/p/DTS6KDIiN0E/?igsh=c2JzbWEyMWF4eXl2
