UDID is based at the School of Care Sciences, University of Glamorgan and brings together university based staff and staff from the Special Projects Team (Bro Morgannwg NHS Trust).  Its’ aim is to enhance quality of life and quality of service provision for people with a learning disability and their families and carers via an integrated programme of research, education and practice development. 

Partnership is central to achieving our aims.  Our work is informed by three advisory groups – TRAC (an advisory group of people with learning disability), a parent/carer group, and a multi-agency practitioner group.  UDID also has a network of links both nationally and internationally. 

Over the coming year we will be commencing new research studies, developing new courses and workshops, and working with service providers to facilitate service development.  We will also be developing a programme of seminars and conferences.

A membership scheme has been launched. This is open to both individuals and organisations – in fact anyone with an interest in promoting quality of life and quality of service provision for people with learning disabilities and their families/carers.
