Welcome to the learning disabilities and autism toolkit

We have created this toolkit to help professionals and organisations that support autistic people and people with learning disabilities who have experienced sexual violence at any point in their lives.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about our specialist service for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.

We hope you find our toolkit helpful – please share it with anyone who might find it useful.

What is technology-facilitated abuse?

Technology-facilitated abuse covers a wide variety of actions and abusive behaviours. Online platforms can facilitate new forms of control an abuser could have over their victim such as monitoring online presences on social media, having control of accounts and access to emails.
