Speaking out and having a learning disability
A conversation between Shaun Webster and Gary Bourlet
Last week saw the end of the Learning Disability England Virtual 2021 Conference.
It was amazing to hear from so many inspirational self-advocates .
One of the main things that became very clear is that the voice of self-advocates must be heard far and wide.
In fact, all people with a learning disability should be given a platform to use their voice and the media plays a big role in this.
Shaun Webster MBE, is an author and a campaigner for the rights of disabled people and also has a learning disability himself.
Gary Bourlet has been a self-advocate for over 30 years and is our Membership and Engagement lead.
