The ARC Member's Magazine
Download the latest Issue here!
Changing Perspectives, the ARC Member's Magazine was launched at the 2008 ARC Annual Conference in Coventry. If you're a member of ARC you'll automatically receive a copy of the magazine by email.
What's in the magazine?
- Changing Perspectives is a topic-based magazine featuring in-depth views on a different theme each issue.
- The magazine is an e-zine, sent to our members by email - enabling us to include links to resources directly from the issue. Members can print hard copies if needed.
- Alternatively hard copies may be available directly from us (for a small fee)
- Each edition we will be offering views and perspectives, good practice together with any relevant government legislation and guidance.
- The aim is to provide a valuable resource that is of practical use to member organisations and their staff who provide services for people with learning disabilities.
- We have also introduced a 'Member's page' for ARC Member organisations to showcase best practice, projects, ask us questions and display photographs (with permission of course)
