Community Adult Learning Disability Team – Greenwich

  • The Greenwich Community Learning Disability Team (CLDT) provides care and support to adults with learning disabilities whose needs cannot be met by universal services. We also support those people who care for adults using the service.

    The team can help you:

    • Tell people what you want
    • Eat, drink and swallow
    • Make changes in your life
    • Manage your behaviour
    • Manage your feelings and mental health
    • Look after yourself and stay safe
    • Stay healthy
    • Manage your money
    • Move around
    • Do as much for yourself as possible
    • Choose housing and where you live
    • Find out about work and leisure
    • Learn new skills
    • Decide what support you need

    We also work alongside an Intensive Community Support Team (ICST). The ICST provides intensive support for people with learning disabilities when there is a risk of hospital admission or placement breakdown. The ICST also offers support to carers, families and support staff.

    The ICST is a small psychology team that works with people who are open to the Community Learning Disability Teams in Bexley, Bromley, and Greenwich.
