This year Learning Disability Week focuses on employment which social enterprise Community Catalysts welcomes, as they recognise that people with a learning disability and those on the autistic spectrum have skills, interests and talents that are often unseen and untapped.
LDE member KeyRing and the Prison Reform Trust are working on a project that looks at the experiences of women with learning disabilities in the criminal justice system.
