@jowhiley Thank you @jowhiley for everything you have been doing to bring the health inequalities of learning disabled people to such sharp focus. On behalf of the young people I work with and their families, I thank you.

Now realising how much I have to learn and I've only seen two speakers so far! Another incredible presentation, this one from Meme Hieneman #PBSconf2020

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

Fantastic first presentation from @darrenbowring. Inspiring and thought provoking material. What a great start to #PBSconf2020

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

As the crisis continues and there are still so many uncertainties in the world, it is amazing how some organisations are going that extra mile to say "I'm here, I'm listening, how can I help?" Thank you @BILD_tweets

Great to hear about the expansion of @gigbuddies into South Wales! Great scheme providing opportunities for people with a learning disability to go out late, experience cultural events and expand their social circles https://t.co/jUYqk1GQMk

Children with LDs are more vulnerable to Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) than others, facing additional barriers to their protection & receiving support. We're working with the HOPE Project to raise awareness & train peer mentors. Find out more: https://t.co/KS26wFkzlf

"Too many children in England are being admitted to mental health hospitals unnecessarily...children [are] often unable to get appropriate support at school & in the community." We need good support in local communities & to focus on prevention https://t.co/yCfbDDIniY #HWAlliance

Taking my 14 year old shopping at the largest primark in England. I didnt know it was here until I attended this year's BILD conference. I blame you, #PBSBham2019. #buyersremorse

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

Another fantastic day at #PBSBham2019. Thought-provoking presentations that for me led to some questions. How do we care for those who care? How do we remove barriers to implementing PBS? How can I deliver the right support at the right time in the current climate? A superb day.

Going to the pub with your mate should be fun. For people with a learning disability, it can sometimes be a difficult experience. Share if you think everyone deserves to have a drink in peace. #AmIYourProblem

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

Absolutely absorbed by this presentation from Professor Christine Bigby on active support in organisations. Each slide more relevant than the last. Here's just one...#PBSBham2019 #activesupport #pbs

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

Not only has the #PBSBham2019 been a superb experience so far, the coffee and pastries that @bcec_birmingham have put on are really good. #secondbreakfast

A great first day at #PBSBham2019 . From the individual to the system and from active support to family focus. Today has been stimulating, challenging and invaluable. looking forward to day 2! #PBS

[DrSteve @LDPsychinfo]

"How do we learn about people? Side by side" A great closing statement from @Juliedbb69 talking with power and passion about active support. #pbs #activesupport #PBSBham2019
