Laura Thorpe chats with Dr Claire Bates from Choice Support Supported Loving.
Dr Claire Bates' research found that relationships were important to autistic people and people with learning disabilities, but that they often relied on staff support to begin and maintain these relationships.
She founded Supported Loving in 2017 as a national network to promote best practice, with the goal of providing people with the support they need to enjoy the same sexual and romantic freedoms as everyone else.
In this episode, Laura and Claire discuss how research, training, and accessible information on sex and relationships can help to make love a reality for everyone
