🗳️ What is Promote The Vote?

Supporting people’s citizenship, promoting independence & upholding human rights are fundamental to social work values & practice.

It is therefore our duty to remove barriers to voting in elections that exist for adults with learning disabilities.

@charliersmith1 Not even sure how that is comfy! Fingers crossed next week is a better week for you 🤞

Thought provoking and fascinating training provided by @DMThornicroft and Tim Spencer-Lane on the interface between the MCA and MHA.... covered lots of information but also left me wanting to know more! Definitely one to reflect on for CPD 😊
