Families
MacIntyre was established by the parents of a disabled child in 1966 for all people with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.
MacIntyre Families Support
Hearing from the families of people we support is something that we encourage and promote across all of MacIntyre. On this page we have created a portal for anyone to use at any time, day or night – welcome to the MacIntyre Families Support.
We would suggest that you use the MacIntyre Families Support if you want to do the following:
- Share your knowledge
- Ask a question
- Contribute towards the creation of family resources
- Volunteer and work alongside Nicola Payne, MacIntyre’s Family Engagement Consultant
- Signpost others to recommended websites or resources that have helped you
- Leave feedback which will help improve practice
We will respond to you within 7 working days.
If you need to contact us as a matter of urgency this is not the platform to do this; your first port of call would be to contact the team that supports your loved one.
