Stolen Lives’s campaign in Wales calling for an end to the detention of people with a learning disability and/or autism away from their communities is another example that there is still so much to do.

It's #LearningDisabilityWeek!

#LearningDisabilityWeek

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

It’s one week to go until #LearningDisabilityWeek. The theme this year is ‘Do you see me?’

'Do you see me?' is about people with a learning disability being seen, heard and valued.

📣 Share your story!

These barriers are all too familiar for many people with a learning disability, from restrictions on paying cash at venues to paternalistic limits

As Lloyd's mother says, "Well, you don’t know how anyone is going to react when they jump out of a plane,"
