The team are out training today, 17.4 miles walk in the beautiful Surrey countryside. If you would consider sponsoring them on their stretcher carry it would make their day, and could help save someone else's 🧡 #SurSAR #SurSARSurrey3Peaks

"The file" does an incredible disservice to many people with intellectual disabilities.
Imagine if you had a file. What would it say about you? What if it recorded some of your worst moments or decisions? Would you want people to read it before they meet you?
ALT ID: Text reads: This is Jim. Jim does not have a disability (drawing of Jim). Jim got angry and threw a cup against a wall and you'll never know it. Second half of text reads: This is Mike. Mike has an intellectual disability (drawing of Mike). Mike got angry and threw a cup against a wall and it will be in his file for the rest of his f-ing life, and everyone who supports him will read about it.

Probably the most important lesson on being an agent/leader of change: we can't be a change agent on our own. However passionate, creative or committed we are, the system will get us. We must build power for change through a support crew with shared goals. Art: @rebeccavosborne

We support our Trustee @MorrisonBeth’s call for guidance on restraint in schools to be made law. To safeguard the rights of children and young people within schools, including autistic children and children with learning disabilities, guidance must be a statutory requirement.

Dominic Raab is the Justice Secretary again; he led the unevidenced, unworkable & unprincipled #RightsRemovalBill to scrap our Human Rights Act.
⛔️ We urge him not to "un-pause" the Bill.
✊Civil society has worked hard to defeat the Bill once already.
