Learning Disability & Autism Health Equity Event
People with a learning disability and/or autism face far too many health inequalities throughout their lives. We believe that addressing inequalities is everyone’s business. That’s why we want to work across all our communities and neighbourhoods to enable better access to ordinary services. This key ambition will ensure radical change and transformation of services. But to do this we need your help to help us establish the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Learning Disability and Autism Health Equity Network.
Please join us at our health equity event where we’ll:
· explain why health equity is a key priority for the LDA Collaborative
· focus on the role neighbourhood leads can have in recognising health inequalities
· highlight the role of our Health Equity Champions
· secure your support and commitment in joining a network of LDA health equity champions who will address the challenges faced in your neighbourhoods
· explain how these things will support the work of the LLR Learning Disability and Autism Health Equity Network.
You’ll get the opportunity to meet experts by experience, parents and carers and hear about the type of support they want and what’s already working for them.
We’ll also provide examples of what’s already working and the range of people, services, organisations and businesses that could become Health Equity Champions. This includes hairdressers, dance companies, libraries, leisure centres, scout groups, mental health neighbourhood cafes and faith centres.
