We are looking for people to take part in a session to share what you think.
The online session is on Tuesday 1st November 10am – 12.30pm

Learning Disability England is working with the Race Equality Foundation, the University of Central Lancashire and Manchester Metropolitan University.

The work is to understand better why it is hard for people from minority ethnic groups with a learning disability to use health care services.

People from minority ethnic groups have more problems with their health.
We know this from a report called LeDeR which tries to understand why people with a learning disability have sadly died.
![](https://www.learningdisabilityengland.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/RIP.png)
The report found that people from minority ethnic backgrounds are more likely to die younger than people who are White British.

We want to know why this is happening and make care better.
