VODG welcomes the launch of Learning Disability England

“Learning Disability England will play a unique and pivotal role in putting the voices of people with learning disabilities at centre stage. We are delighted the organisation has arrived and look forward to working collaboratively with people with learning disabilities and their families to help shape progressive approaches to policy and practice”.

Gary Bourlet, co-founder of Learning Disability England said:

“LDE is important because we want self-advocates to work closely with families, carers and organisations that work with people with learning disabilities to come together and work together. For far too long we have been working separately and our voices have not been strong enough on our own to make change”.
