Learning Disability Week: Do You See Me? Insights from the East of England
Learning Disability Week Monday 16th June – Friday 21st June: The theme for 2025 is "Do you see me?" The week is all about people with a learning disability being seen, heard and valued. Help us celebrate everything people with a learning disability bring to society during Learning Disability Week.
To do this the East of England, Regional Learning Disability & Autism Team are supporting ICB’s share the work they have been doing to create better heath outcomes for people with a learning disability. Through a series of webinars each themed around different health and social care priorities, key partners will be sharing good practice examples of where improvements to services have been made and how service improvements have been realised.
These webinars are available to anyone who supports people with a learning disability and/ or autistic people.
We will also be celebrating Autistic Pride Day on the 18th June. This is an opportunity to recognise the importance of pride for autistic people and its role in bringing about positive changes in the broader society.
**Please note that a link to the webinar will be sent to the email you have registered your booking the day before the event.**
