Introducing the Learning Disability Leaders Conference 2026

May 29, 2026 | News

On Thursday 18 June 2026, Care Surveys is bringing together 8 expert speakers for a free, full-day online conference built exclusively for those leading, managing and shaping Learning Disability services.

 

Something has been coming up time and again in our conversations with people who work in Learning Disability services.

LD services feel different; different pressures, different risks, different regulatory challenges. And sometimes, a little left out of the wider adult social care conversation.

So we decided to do something about it.

We are hosting our first Learning Disability Leaders Conference

On Thursday 18 June 2026, Care Surveys is bringing together 8 expert speakers for a free, full-day online conference built exclusively for those leading, managing and shaping Learning Disability services.

It is online for three reasons: accessibility (more people can attend), cost (no ticket price whatsoever), and flexibility (every session will be recorded, transcribed and made available afterwards).

What will be covered?

We shaped the programme around what people in the sector told us matters most. On the day, you can expect sessions covering:

  • Mental Capacity Act, supported decision-making and positive risk
  • Embedding Positive Behaviour Support across whole organisations
  • Physical health inequalities in LD services
  • CQC’s evolving focus in Supported Living
  • Oliver McGowan training updates
  • Leading LD services without burning out
  • Coproduction and lived experience at every level
  • Digital accessibility and inclusive systems

Meet the speakers

We have 8 brilliant speakers joining us across the day. We will be announcing each one over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on this page and our LinkedIn for updates.

Our first speaker announcement: Tim Dallinger from Social Care Consultants Ltd will be presenting on Person-led, outcome-focused care planning for people with a learning disability. Read his full speaker spotlight here.
