Survey on Office for Disability Issues strategy

At the moment the government is asking people what could make life better for disabled people. They have written down some ideas for a strategy but want disabled people, and the people in their lives to tell them whether these are the right things to do, or whether there are other things that are more important. 
 
Once the government has heard people’s ideas they will write a plan of things they will do, to change things for the better.

Mencap will be telling the government what people with a learning disability, their friends, family and carers think needs to change. Mencap want to hear from you about what you think is most important, so they can share these ideas with the government.
 
If you are someone with a learning disability. Please tell Mencap what you think by answering their survey for people with a learning disability. You get into the survey by clicking on the underlined link below.
