Creating a resource that captures the social histories and lived experiences of the PMLD community: which stories should be collected and shared, and how?

In this short article we introduce a new project that aims to develop a resource that shares the stories of the PMLD community. By ‘PMLD community’ we mean people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), their loved ones such as family and friends, and those who regularly support people with PMLD, including day centre staff and paid carers. Our project involves working with the PMLD community to identify what stories they would like to share, with whom, and how. We will then work with the community to co-create a resource and share this with readers of PMLD Link in a future issue.
