Mencap’s Learning Disability week starting 15th June is following up on their pre-election Hear My Voice campaign. It led to people with learning disabilities being more informed with local hustings with potential candidates (Preston’s example http://www.disability-equality.org.uk/news/preston-learning-disability—election-hustings/n144 ). Their idea is to get people ask their new MP to meet constituents with learning disabilities and hear of their concerns so they represent them. It is also to raise awareness amongst the general public of the strengths and achievements of people with learning disabilities, as well as the injustices and concerns. Mencap also have a questionnaire they want people to use to see if people understand what a learning disability is Survey Tool (Final)
