Anyone with experience of Community Learning Disability Teams?

For adults. I am helping a friend get support for her adult daughter. She has been referred to this team as she needs some psychological support but so far has only been able to a access a support worker type person, not a mental health professional or nurse etc. Has anyone been in touch with these teams or knows how it works? Presumably there are long waiting lists like everywhere. Many thanks for any input.

How the LD team works and any waiting list (not all LD teams do have a waiting list) will vary area to area, so unfortunately it’s impossible for anyone to tell you what your area is like.

Some areas have a full MDT, others don’t. Some mostly visit service users at home others partially work from clinics. It depends really.

Thanks for replying. Sorry what is an MDT?

MDT is multidisciplinary team.
