People with a learning disability are more likely to be overweight and have poorer health from chronic disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer.
Food plays an important part in our health. People with a learning disability have a right to health and to be supported to choose food they enjoy and is good for their health. This is a new national e- learning module which provides information on weight and health in people with learning disabilities, healthy eating and physical activity recommendations, and practical ideas and resources to help support healthier choices in adults with learning disabilities.
