Who is involved in the project?

The project involves a team of researchers and professionals who contribute their wide range of expertise and experiences.

The project also involves several advisory groups encompassing professionals and family carers, with a variety of experience supporting children with learning disabilities and behaviours that challenge.

These advisory groups are involved in many aspects of the project which include: contributing to key decisions, acting as ambassadors, co-production of dissemination outputs and creating communication pathways with other family carers and professionals. They will also contribute to defining service models and interpreting study findings.
