SCSW Research & Practice Twilight session: Flourishing Lives: A project update!
Flourishing Lives: ‘Bridging the translation gap between learning disability policy and practice in search of flourishing lives’ A project update!
This will be an opportunity to hear and ask about the most current research by Sara Ryan, Professor of Social Care, at Manchester Metropolitan University. A sociologist by background, Sara’s work focuses on learning disability and autism.
The ‘flourishing lives’ project used a ‘Capability Approach’ to explore how learning disabled people can be supported to lead flourishing lives. A Capability Approach highlights the importance of people being able to do the things they value which is the key to wellbeing but is rarely used in social care. In this session, Sara returns to share the findings of the NIHR funded project and how it all worked out in the end.
