Being challenging – when it comes to what people with learning
disabilities and families want, need, and have a right to.

Working together – with people with learning disabilities, families,
professionals, organisations, and the government, to achieve
better lives for people with learning disabilities.

Being creative and trying new things – by thinking differently about how we can solve problems, and not being afraid to get it wrong sometimes.
