Strategic influencing

Read about how the CBF works with a range of people to influence national policy.

Introduction

The CBF raises awareness and understanding of severe learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges amongst professionals, opinion formers and the public.

The CBF represents people with severe learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges, and their families. Our work is based on evidence gained from real life experience, making our approach unique and authentic.

The consequences of ‘getting it wrong’ have a major impact on everyone’s lives. We know what to do to make it ‘right’ and can demonstrate how services can be improved for people with severe learning disabilities.

Reducing behaviour that challenges for people with severe learning disabilities is an issue amongst voters, regulators and society as a whole.  Work with us to drive change for the better
