Tizard Learning Disability Review relaunched

The Tizard Learning Disability Review, the top professional journal in learning disabilities, has been relaunched with a new look. The first issue is guest-edited by Rob Greig, NDTi Chief Exeutive.

Published quarterly by Pier Professional and in partnership with the Tizard Centre, University of Kent, this Journal offers vital information and intelligence for people working in learning disability services. It bridges the experience of managers, practitioners, academics, users and carers to establish a constructive dialogue between different perspectives.

Each issue includes:

·        Evidence and ideas to help plan, manage and deliver excellent learning disability services

·        Peer-reviewed articles, with accompanying commentaries on issues raised

·        Accessible overviews of research – drawing out practical implications

·        Detailed descriptions of important and innovative developments

·        Commentary on topical policy changes and other issues affecting practice.
