✦ Synopsis

Summary

The purpose of this paper is to introduce people working in the field of learning disabilities to the concept of ‘protective behaviours’ (PBs). It suggests that the PBs approach is relevant to people with learning disabilities, particularly in relation to issues of vulnerability and empowerment. The paper briefly overviews the basic features of the PBs approach and provides examples of its application in clinical settings. It concludes that the PBs process is of fundamental importance to services for people with learning disabilities and recommends that professionals would benefit from attending any training opportunities that may arise.
