Supported Loving is a human rights-based campaign, with associated network meetings, hosted by Choice Support . They believe people with learning disabilities and/or autism should be able to enjoy the same sexual and romantic freedoms as everyone else.
Supported Loving started by highlighting the importance of good support for people with autism/learning disabilities to form and maintain close relationships but the campaign’s goals seek to ensure that:
- people with learning disabilities and/or autism are aware of their sexual rights.
- training on sexuality and relationships is provided to all social care staff
- sexuality and relationships are a mandatory focus in Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections
Choice Support publishes Supported Loving blogs, podcasts and toolkit guides here. The guides are written for people providing support to explore key topics around sexuality and include Easy Read information.
