In our words
“Make information accessible for everyone, about everything”
“Help people with monthly budgets and make sure they have enough money and are financially ok”
“Services do not have places where people can ask questions face to face. For example, the bus station used to have an enquiry office but now there is nobody to ask for help with anything”
“Provide more work opportunities and help for people to do voluntary work”.
We want you to..
- Make sure that people with learning disabilities -
- Can get information in the way they want it so they can be part of their communities.
- Are supported to understand their rights and responsibilities in all areas of their lives.
- Have reasonable adjustments when they apply for work so that they are not discriminated against.
- Put support in place to make sure people with learning disabilities have the same opportunities
So people with a learning disability can..
- Make choices about being part of the community.
- Have the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else.
- Feel valued as members of the community
- Do things they choose using their skills, interests and abilities.
- Have contact with the people who are important
