Question 1 a) Should we teach more specialist staff members to help support the increase in need? b) Or should we teach more generally registered staff to support the increased needs?
Question 2 What kind of extra skills and education do you think either (a) or (b) staff would need to support the increase in needs of the learning disability population?
