LDAN Bill Consultation
Reaching the under-served and under-represented
The LDAN Bill Consultation is now underway, and closes on 21st April 2024.
Our team is engaging with organisations who work with the most under-served and under-represented in the learning disabilities, autism and neurodivergence world. We have developed some resources that should help you to navigate and submit responses to make sure your voice is heard.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to help shape a Bill that protects and serves the LDAN community.
If you are from an ethnic minority and would like to read the resources or attend events in a different language, please go to SEMA.scot
Resources for families, managers, front-line workers to think and plan a response to the consultation
