'Sitting on the margins, I can only achieve so much' - Ramandeep Kaur urges researchers and policy makers to work with, and for, people from marginalised communities, like her, and her son, Harry.

We are stronger in our activism together. RK has faced racism in campaigning but has had opportunities to help reduce stigma eg speaking on Punjabi TV channels, talking at local schools about allyship. Everyone from marginalised communities should have opportunities to live the best lives possible.

Good for them. Look forward to hearing more.

Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan.bsky.social · Feb 13

Agree.

Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan.bsky.social · Feb 13

Meticulously argued, sadly the evidence is all there.

Prof Ryan @sarasiobhan.bsky.social · Feb 13

So, so excited my new book is pretty much in publication. ‘Critical Health and Learning Disabilities; an Exploration of Erasure and Social Murder’ is out in the summer (Routledge).

Monique Huysamen @moniquehuy.bsky.social · Feb 12

Do you know that each local authority in England should have an up to date autism strategy? Well it turns out many don't. Find out about our study and database here youtu.be/6Xv-N4K4gWc?...

Learning Disability England @learningdiseng.bsky.social · Feb 12

It's important everyone over 14 on their doctor's learning disability register has an annual health check.

They can help you stay well and find any problems early.

If you haven't been offered one you can ask your doctors practice if you can have one.

Last Monday (20th January) I delivered my two guest lectures for the Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of East London to 60 doctoral candidates!

In the first lecture we discussed how learning disabilities are defined (by whom, what 'expertise' is drawn upon e.g. (1/9)

Our campaign comments on delays to social care reform: https://buff.ly/427bBEg

"A commission that will take years to report won’t help those who need support right now. We need urgent action to fund and scale existing best practice.”

Gloom and despair over Streeting’s ‘deeply disappointing’ decision to delay social care reform

Disabled campaigners have reacted with despair and exasperation to the government’s “deeply disappointing” announcement that it is delaying long-term reform of the adult social care system in Engla…

It’s been a stunner so far given we’re warm and can walk to town. 🤞

Not saying it’s still cold in Buxton but this was the view from our bathroom window earlier.

Photo of the bathroom window. Stained glass panel from our old house. The top of some toiletries, blue sky and snowy garden with a stonking set of stalactites hanging down.

There was a notion, at the time, that the pandemic would be a great 'leveller'. Now, as LA burns, we see that wealth and privilege is no protector. But 'business as normal' resumes quickly. I'm always wondering what can make us step into another's shoes and truly walk around in them... changing us.

And now weirdly pink…

Exact same photo minutes later with a proper pink hue.
