#IDPWD2021 We are reflecting on the right of people with Intellectual Disabilities to move out of their family home and into homes of their own. A right no matter what level of support a person needs. The voices of People with higher support needs are often forgotten.
Our upcoming Equality Day is taking shape &we are delighted to announce that Dr Shana Cohen from @TASCblog will be joining CESCA & the communities we support to consider the importance of community in addressing the inequalities exposed during the pandemic https://t.co/nO9dPPJ6GG

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells. . . .
And hope and history rhyme.

Interesting to have a sociological consideration of COVID-19 today on @RadioBrendanRTE . Any ideas where to get the study referred to by @niamhhourigan1 re housing and impact on mental health during COVID lockdown?
Definitely feeling this one needs to be reviewed. I'm calling on the Minister for Health to remove restrictions that deny partners the right to be present at antenatal scans, appointments & labour. Will you join me by signing this petition? https://t.co/NjrZBIFfRF via @UpliftIRL
