People with learning difficulties aren't being given a voice about laws which affect them. This needs to change. We're calling for Parliament to follow the Equality Act and start including people with learning difficulties. 🔗 Sign the petition: buff.ly/esyOGw3

On Monday, we had a fantastic in-person session for London-based Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations, looking at how PIP should work and what recommendations we can make to the Timms Review of PIP. @TransportForAll
Participants at our Timms Review event sat around a table having a conversation.

Independent, included, not watched, heard & understood, not challenged, not questioned, excited for the future, a participant in society."
