Still talking about boat rocking, change agency and the power of connection several years after my first S4C. Great place to learn how to work together to make things happen.

We need to be careful when using words like *vulnerable*. Of course, too many are rendered vulnerable because of barriers to participation & not having their gifts recognised. Addressing “vulnerability” is largely about enabling citizenship & equity; not therapy or benevolence.

‘Our MP, Sam Tarry, wrote an excellent letter to the Department for Health and Social Care asking it to address this and other serious concerns. The eventual reply ignored the mortality rate, concentrating on the England rare diseases action plan. 1 ref to learning disabilities!’
