Sunny is very passionate about the work we do. He’s working on this rap about Paula McGowan and asked me to take a video of it today at the end of the session.

This year’s theme of Learning Disability Week is “Do you see me?” Which is about being seen, heard & valued. Heading to Cornwall with Sunny to deliver the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability & Autism.

Given we are losing 1400 people with a learning disability to AVOIDABLE deaths every single year due to prejudice, discrimination, diagnostic overshadowing
We know that preventable deaths in autistic people are likely to be higher
Oliver is one of them

Today, two years ago, I was awarded my OBE
(Oliver Behind Everything)
Prince William made the mistake of asking me about #Oliverscampaign, I think everyone, including his staff, was shocked at the amount of time he chatted to me
It was such a memorable day
Proud today to be delivering the Oliver McGowan Training on Learning Disability & Autism to Social care staff in Cornwall on what would have been Oliver McGowan’s birthday, with my lived experience co facilitator Sunny @estia_centre#oliverscampaign#learningdisability#autism
I had a fantastic day delivering this course in November. Brilliant to see such enthusiasm to provide meaningful support to adults with learning disabilities and autism.
Look at this lovely feedback from a learner on our new Science of Happiness for Autism and Learning Disability course! 💙
