The Community Learning Disability Team is a specialist health service for people with learning disabilities, and their carers, living in Sheffield. 

We provide specialist health assessments, diagnosis, support and care for people aged 18 and above. 

By working alongside other health services in the city we ensure that our service users’ physical and mental health needs are met, and ensure that family and carers are supported in their important roles too. 

You can find out more about the support we offer in this easy-read leaflet.

You can also find a list of useful videos for people with learning disabilities and families and carers here.

We accept referrals from GPs, primary and secondary care services working the city, social care service, voluntary and private sector organisations.

We also accept self-referrals or referrals from carers or family member on behalf of a loved one. This easy-read leaflet explains whether you are eligible for support from our service.
