“Success and ambition are human traits but are rarely associated with people like my sister. And if we fail to acknowledge the existence of these qualities in the lives of people with learning disabilities, we effectively treat them as less than human.”

“One UN committee report concluded the UK government’s austerity policies had resulted in ‘grave or systematic violations’ of disabled people’s rights.7 The reality of this, the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission said, is that disabled people in general are treated like second-class citizens and people with learning disabilities are among those experiencing even greater barriers.8 This is despite the fact that we have laws to promote and protect human rights and equality for all.”
