This book is both a timely and challenging exploration of providing
personal care for people with learning disabilities, an area of
care provision that tends to be neglected in comparison with high
profile areas of care management today. Well researched and
presented, there is comprehensive coverage of all main aspects of
providing intimate and personal care, ranging from the wider
context (culturally sensitive provision, sexuality, health and
hygiene, and law) to more specific practice areas
(multi-disciplinary working, teaching independent living skills,
people with profound/multiple disabilities, children and young
people and older adults).' - Professional Social Work 'Intimate and
Personal Care with People with learning Disabilities edited by
Steven Carnaby and Paul Cambridge (Jessica Kingsley Publishers,
GBP19.99) is an academic book but it is fascinating and written to
inform and change practice. Giving intimate care is possibly the
most difficult and complex area of care work, yet it is rarely
analysed and understood in this sort of depth. We tend to write
rather pompous and detached policies about dignity and privacy and
they don't actually help staff to discuss and think through the
realities that they face when helping clients with the most
intimate situations. Care plans may generalise and skate over the
details, leaving residents and staff to do their best in situations
that are personally and professionally challenging. This is a book
for managers (of care homes of all kinds) who want to develop their
team's capacity to think and to understand, and thereby to provide
the very best care.' - Caring Times 'Probably the first substantial
discussion of and guide to this essential area of care practice. A
wideranging volume which deserves to be read and kept as a
reference volume by all professional teams providing intimate
care.' - Current Awareness Service This important guide is the
first to consider the management and practice of intimate and
personal care for people with learning disabilities. It examines in
detail aspects of care such as training, ethnicity, sexuality and
competence in practice, drawing on the extensive practical
experience of the contributors. They discuss important issues
including the nature of touch, how physical contact is intended and
experienced, carers' duty of care, and risk management. Against the
backdrop of a recent government strategy for people with learning
disabilities, the book will also explore management considerations
of best value, care standards, performance monitoring and
inspection. Providing academic, professional and learning outcomes
from research, this book will be an invaluable guide to managers,
policy makers, carers, academics and students in the field of
social care and learning disability.
