I use to provide OH services to a trust that looked after people with
learning disabilities. Continued discussion with and advice from the carers
is the best starting point but there will probably be a Community Learning
Disability Team attached to the local health authority who could also give
you advice. You could also try contacting the British Institute of Learning
Disabilities. Their website is www.bild.org.uk. This site also gives you a
contact phone number.
Best of luck, these situations can be very tricky.
