Norovirus outbreaks increasing in England yet Conservatives push on with ending lock down. People with learning disabilities will be, once again, expendable.

Great article by @Saba_Salman, citing @chrishattoncedr’s research finding that almost 40,000 learning disabled people remain unvaccinated, possibly due to health risks, needle phobia or lack of information theguardian.com/commentisfre…

So many people in the NHS are not aware of the legal frame work- Accessible information standards, by law you have to provide reasonable adjustments to your patients. More training and awareness is needed. bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ire…

21 years ago this summer I nearly died by suicide because I knew I’d never be happy again. Today I put away the dishes then stood in the garden and let summer rain soak me to my skin. I felt so alive and quietly euphoric I wanted to reach back through time to tell me I was wrong.

Venues: Don't forget your signage when you install a new #ChangingPlacesToilet! Making the toilet easy to find makes things easier for those who use it (and for your staff when they're directing people!) #Access #IncLOOsion

It seems to me that the real priority here is the calling for learning disabled people's health to improve, not the actual improvement of learning disabled people's health. Otherwise, why the endless calls for action and very little actual action?

People with a learning disability have no champions in mainstream health services and face unlawful and institutionalised discrimination. Colleagues and I made some suggestions how to address this in 1998...researchgate.net/publication…

So delighted to have Richard's name on my office door! What are the hurdles of employing a researcher with intellectual disabilities at a university? "It makes you feel useful & really proud". Preparing to talk about this at @IASSIDD World Congress next month @derwem @KUStGeorges

The vigil isn’t for the journalists. It’s for everyone who has been abused in these places over the years, it’s to challenge the broken promises and the endless reviews and reports that have done nothing to make change happen.
