Learning Disability Alliance is working hard to call Parties to account on behalf of people with learning disabilities, families and their allies.They have gathered together useful information and links http://learningdisabilityalliance.org/category/election-resources/
Their Questionnaire results are in about how the government is rated on the 12 areas of importance to people – see http://learningdisabilityalliance.org/news/quality-checking-government-results/
Their national hustings results are also out – all the national Parties sent a suitable health/disability rep. EXCEPT the Conservatives who didn’t even answer the invitation!! http://learningdisabilityalliance.org This doesn’t bode well for their support for people with learning disabilities.
The LDA have pointed out that people with learning disabilities and their families and allies have a significant vote – so look at what was said and their easy read Manifestos and USE YOUR VOTE!
