Embolden 2 Project Report 2025
In September 2022, Oxfordshire Family Support Network (OxFSN) began a three-year project, Embolden 2, to support older family carers who have a family member with a learning disability or a learning disability and autism to plan ahead for when they are no longer able to care for their relative.
The project provided older carers with the information and knowledge needed to find a provision that would support their family member’s needs.
