BACKGROUND: Parents in England with an intellectual disability may be eligible for support with parenting from Local Authority's Adult services under the Care Act (2014).
METHOD: This study investigated how adult social workers support these parents through 18 interviews with managers and commissioners and focus groups with 52 social workers, analysed using thematic analysis.
RESULTS: Parents with a diagnosed 'intellectual disability' accessed 'gold standard of support' from intellectual disability teams. Parents with a milder or borderline intellectual disability accessed support from the 'general' team if they had two eligible needs under the Care Act. There were inclusive and more restrictive approaches, related to a lack of resources and social worker knowledge and skills, to the recognition of two eligible needs.
CONCLUSIONS: Parents with milder intellectual disabilities are rendered invisible to services due to not having a 'label' or 'obvious' eligibility for support under the Care Act.
