#CaminoLB will be happening this year from 1-13th April. Please support in any way you can, join us or do your own walk wherever you are. Tell your children about why we are walking so that our next generation can learn to value all human beings. More info on CaminoLB facebook.

The children joined us for these 2 days of walking and carried the bus and teapot for the entire way up long, winding and steep hills- I know this experience profoundly affected my daughter who translated the experiences of the families for Spanish press - she is now an activist

[Alicia Wood @AliciaWood__]

Last year Danny Tozer’s family brought a teapot to carry as Danny loved tea. We also carried bay leaves for Anthony Dawson who loved to smell them in the garden where he lived. I remember this day as a long and difficult walking day.

LBs bus has come with us for hundreds of kms walking the Camino LB in Spain & Birmingham. Most people recognize the bus as something Connor Sparrowhawk loved but for me, carrying the bus has also come to symbolize sharing & carrying the burden of grief & anger with families

We are very proud to announce the new 3rd edition of Disabled Children: a legal handbook.

With thanks to @sarasiobhan (now a contributor) we have on the cover a beautiful painting by her son, Connor Sparrowhawk, called ‘Colours’ (2013).

Publishing December 2019.

That @mencap_charity , ‘the voice of learning disability’ at no point became involved or gave their support (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) will always be an incomprehensible disappointment to me. #JusticeforLB #Mazars #JusticeForAllTheDudes #DeathByIndifference

Just listened and it is so good to hear - especially at a time when it’s easy to get dispirited by all the empty political promises bouncing around.
#JusticeforLB - a reminder of good people and what’s important in healing the wounds life, bad actions & preventable hurt inflict

#JusticeforLB is the first story on The Idea @BBCWales this evening. 'Love thy Neighbour'. Tears and joyfulness. https://t.co/5PeSzjur1P

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

The human rights of some young people with #learningdisabilities and #autism are being breached in mental health hospitals in England according to a new report.
It's a story #BBCBreakfast has told from the start ⬇️

When another production company gets in touch about TV rights to your book and you know your boy is going to soar. As he should. ❤️ #JusticeforLB

[Jo Moriarty @Aspirantdiva]

Looks as if @BBCfileon4 is going to be difficult listening tonight. Brave of @beckymontacute to share her experience publicly. Shows how @INQUEST_ORG & @JusticeforLB have been right to highlight unfairness of current inquest system for families

[Afua Hirsch @afuahirsch]

Here is BBC director David Jordan saying "the Complaints Unit deals with the complaints it gets... we haven't had a complaint about Dan Walker's role."

We now know that is a lie.

So I'll ask again BBC, why did you single out @BBCNaga when there were complaints against both?

[Claire Flower @Claireflo]

Haven't been able to put this down - moving, full of love, funny, and deeply, outrageously shocking. Thank you @sarasiobhan for writing this. If you haven't already, do read it. #JusticeForLB

[Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan]

What do you do with those tears? https://t.co/voE9zbftsm

It’s also the ineffective managers, lazy commissioners, naive CQC inspectors, profit hungry owners, over worked social workers, ill informed police officers....and every sucker who held a meeting, made a plan...and did nothing.

@JusticeforLB as a

Technology is an easy/cheap but it’s not the solution. I’ve done a few cases with CCTV or audio of abuse and the footage is often not definitive.
