Episode 4 - A History of Learning Disability, Institution and Asylum
The ParentAssess Podcast by ParentAssess
Episode notes
How much do you really know about the history of institutions and asylums?
In this episode Jamie and Sarah Lowe uncover the often-overlooked story of how people who were seen as ‘different’ have been treated through time; a history marked by fear, ignorance, segregation and avoidance.
They explore why it’s so important for social workers today to lead with sensitivity, understanding, respect, kindness, and humanity when supporting all the people we work with, especially those who have experienced institutionalisation, social exclusion or stigma.
