The Challenging Behaviour Foundation (CBF) is the only UK charity specifically focussed on the needs of children and adults with severe learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges, and their families.
The CBF Family Support Service can provide information and support about the needs of your relative with a severe learning disability. We can help you navigate the complex health, education and social care systems. Our support is confidential and we won't judge you or tell you what to do.
Open to parents, siblings or other close relatives of children, young people or adults with severe learning disabilities who display behaviour that challenges.
Service access criteria:
Suitable for those caring for a child, young person or adult with a severe learning disability. We are unable to support where the person has a mild or moderate learning disability or diagnosis of autism without a learning disability.
