A COLLECTIVE VOICE TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN POSTURAL CARE.

The Posture Positive Collective started as a joint collaboration with NHS England, NHS Improvement, Born at the Right Time and Simple Stuff Works. The Posture Positive 2020 report shares the reality and impact of postural care service provision for people with Learning disabilities amid the Covid-19 pandemic in England. It was written after surveying over 100 people; practitioners, families and people with learning disabilities. Postural care is defined by Mencap as ‘using the right equipment and positioning techniques to help protect and restore body shape’ (Mencap, 2010). The Covid-19 pandemic placed an exceptional burden on families and practitioners providing postural care for people with learning disabilities. The study set out to understand the impact of Covid-19 restrictions and propose improvements for the future.

Postural care is not nice to have, it’s essential
