Frequently Asked Questions
What will I receive?
You will receive the editable A4 Microsoft Word documents listed in the individual product description. They are supplied as an instant digital download. Nothing will be posted to you.
Do I need the newest version of Microsoft Word?
No. The files are supplied in .docx format and should open in versions of Microsoft Word that support this file type. Very old versions may occasionally display small formatting differences.
Can I edit and print the templates?
Yes. You can type directly into the documents, save your completed copies and print them when needed. Please check the page layout before printing, particularly after adding large amounts of text.
Can I use the files in Google Docs, Pages or another program?
The templates are created and checked in Microsoft Word. Other programs may open .docx files, but formatting can change, so compatibility and page layout cannot be guaranteed outside Microsoft Word.
Who are these resources for?
The resources are created primarily for parents and family carers supporting children, young people and adults with learning disabilities. Completed documents may also be shared with relevant health, education and social care professionals.
Are these official NHS or local authority forms?
No. These are independently created, person-centred templates from Learning Disabilities Support Studios. They are not official NHS, local authority, education or social care documents.
Do the templates replace professional advice or existing care plans?
No. The templates help organise and share information, but they do not replace clinical records, professional assessments, prescribed guidance, care plans, risk assessments or emergency advice.
What should I do if I have difficulty opening a file?
Please message me through Etsy and explain what is happening. I will be happy to help you check the download and resolve problems with the supplied files.
