Learning from lives and deaths: people with a learning disability and autistic people (LeDeR)
What this work was about
Practice Leads, NHS colleagues and a person’s family worked together to design reflective workshops based on learning from a LeDeR review. The focus was on understanding the human impact behind the review and what this means for everyday practice.
What people told us
Hearing directly from family members changed the sessions from formal training into meaningful reflection and learning.
“I cannot put into words how much your presentation meant to me today. Thank you so much. It will inform my practice going forward and the way I work with my team to facilitate their learning”

What changed
Staff described the learning as powerful and practice‑changing. Further work is exploring an e‑learning resource and a case study so this learning can reach more people.
Why this matters
When learning is grounded in lived experience, it leads to deeper understanding, more respectful practice and real changes in how people are supported.
