SABP East Surrey Community Team for People with Learning Disabilities

We are a community team supporting people who have learning disabilities and their families in the Redhill, Reigate, Banstead and Horley area.

We work with people who have an impairment of social functioning, linked to an IQ of 70 or below, who may have difficulty managing their health needs independently.

We are a multi-professional team which includes: community nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and a range of therapists. We undertake specialist secondary health assessments and therapeutic interventions. We also provide advice and support to enable people with learning disabilities, who often have complex and continuing health needs, to maintain and improve their health wherever possible.

We support people to access primary and secondary health services, where facilitation by a specialist learning disability practitioner is required. The team can also help people with a learning disability with a range of other specialist services such as health promotion and the development of healthy lifestyles.

We work in partnership with other mainstream health services and appropriate specialist services as well as a wide range of other statutory and non-statutory agencies.

SABP Children and Young People’s services

We provide a specialist service for children and young people with learning disabilities. Our Community Learning Disability Service provides assessment, consultation and short, focused treatments and support for children and young people up to the age of 18 who have a learning disability.

We help:

Pre-school children who are delayed cognitively by at least a third of their chronological age and are also delayed in two other areas such as motor, social or communication/ language skills
School aged children who have a learning disability and who are delayed by at least three years in cognitive ability and are also delayed in two other areas such as communication and self-help skills

The team is made up of staff with different specialisms to provide the best possible help and support, including nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists and music and drama therapists. We provide assessment, consultation, intervention, training and liaison which may involve professionals from more than one discipline. Interventions are based on assessment formulation and care planning. Our work is collaborative, goal orientated and, where possible, time limited.

Consultation and training is aimed at enhancing the confidence and competence necessary to deliver an intervention provided by others involved in the care of young people. Feedback to professionals and families is respectful, open and clear and correspondence is copied to families unless there is good, documented reason not to.

Oliver McGowan

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training. The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that regulated service providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.   

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the government's preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.

Oliver's Training also supports the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan ambition by upskilling the wider health and care workforce to provide appropriately adjusted care for people with a learning disability and autistic people to reduce health inequality.

Together we can prevent the many avoidable deaths like Oliver’s from happening again. The animation below aims to help staff and employers across health and social care to understand Oliver's Training and why it is so vitally important.
