Hypothesis

How can VCSE organisations effectively use digital technologies alongside or instead of in-person activity to provide social care services to adults with learning disabilities and/or autism?

Conclusion

The review aims to provide insights into how hybrid service delivery can be effectively implemented in VCSE organisations for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism.

Takeaway

This study is about finding the best ways to help adults with learning disabilities and autism by using both online and in-person services.

Methodology

A participatory realist review will be conducted involving stakeholders to define the scope, search for evidence, extract findings, and develop a narrative.

Potential Biases

The participatory approach may introduce variability in stakeholder input, affecting the predictability of the review.

Limitations

The review may be less predictable and more time-consuming due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders.

Participant Demographics

Adults (18+) with learning disabilities and/or autism.
