In the final part of the project, we tested out the toolkit of approaches and resources that we developed earlier in the project. We trained learning disability support staff members to use these approaches and resources with people they support. They then tried them out to help people they support to make end-of-life care plans.
​
We tested the following four resources in the study:
​
-
Let's talk about funerals pictures
-
My funeral cards
-
Am I Going To Die? Book Beyond Words
-
When I'm ill cards
​
Support staff were asked to fill in feedback forms about their experiences and to join focus groups to let us know how useful they found the resources, approaches, and training.
​​
The evaluation study has been completed.
The feedback was used to finalise the toolkit. You find the toolkt on the TOOLKIT page. We also published an article in an academic journal called Journal of Intellectual Disabilities. You can find the article here.
