Promoting Inclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities
Clinical Supports Team
The Clinical Supports Team (CST) is a group of staff with highly specialised clinical skills and knowledge. We support adults who use Kare services.
We believe clinical supports should equip people with disabilities to make their own choices and goals and to achieve those goals, to have influence over decisions that affect them and to be active and independent members of society.
We aim to support the whole person, in each aspect of their life.

-

Our work is underpinned by choice, rights, and consent. We are bound by the professional practices and ethics of CORU, as well as our relevant professional bodies.
Children's Disability Network Team
The Children’s Disability Network Team (CDNT) provides support and services to children and young people up to 18 years who have a disability and associated complex health needs.
Our team is committed to supporting children and young people's development, wellbeing and participation in family and community life.
The team members share their knowledge, information and skills with families so they can support their child/young person's development, helping them to develop, learn and take part in everyday activities.
We are family centred and will work with families depending on their child's needs and the priorities agreed together. This approach to team working is in line with evidence from international best practice.
