It was an honour to speak at Parliament for #LearningDisabilityWeek to advocate for the #HomesNotHospitals campaign.
The #HomesNotHospitals campaign highlights the UK wide human rights scandal where people with autism & a learning disability are inappropriately detained in ATUS.
A great start to #LearningDisabilityWeek raising awareness of the many services available to the learning disability population and their carers across SHSCT.
Tomorrow marks the first day of #LearningDisabilityWeek . A week to promote & raise awareness of this wonderful population of people, which I'm delighted to be involved in as I prepare to present about Annual health checks for PWLD at 2 events this week. #LDweek2023
Weβre excited to announce our Learning Disability Conference on 21 June! Our event coincides with #learningdisabilityweek which raises awareness, aims to smash stigma & discrimination & campaigns for a fair society.
