The graphic highlights that people with learning disabilities like clear communications in emergency situations, along with the following questions:
Why did it happen?
What is happening?
What will happen next?
How severe is the situation?

ALT Quote from Our Future Leaders graduate Derek.
“Just because you are disabled don’t be afraid to chase your dreams. Go out and show the world you’re a fighter, fight for a job and fight for your rights. A disability won’t stop me, and I have a voice and I will let it be heard.”
The course is ran by Inspiring Scotland's Inspiring Inclusion fund.
