Gathering feedback and measuring outcomes and change with children and young people with learning disabilities

We share learning, including recommendations and best practice examples of what works and what gets in the way when measuring outcomes and gaining feedback with children and young people with learning disabilities. The recommendations recognise that we need to measure their outcomes and hear their voices at many levels - individual, service and community - and across different kinds of activities.
