Dorset #NoVoice
Listen to, and support the voices of people with a learning disability in Dorset and stand with them in challenging the Department of Health. The Department of Health are stopping funding for The National Forum for People with Learning Disabilities and The National Valuing Families Forum at the end of March 2017. #NoVoice
Why is this important?
The forums are made up from elected representatives from the 9 regions in England. These representatives talk to government and other Organisations such as the NHS & CQC to give the opinions and voice of people with a learning disability.
Without the forums, the voice of people with a learning disability will be lost. We are worried that when the government stop supporting and listening to people with learning disabilities others may stop too. More people with a learning disability could end up isolated and alone with nowhere to turn.
Please sign this petition and show our local MPs how important the voice of people with a learning disability is. We would really like them to speak up for the people in their communities that have #NoVoice. We want MPs to tell government that their local community think people with a learning disability should be included at a local, regional and national level. We think the Department of Health should reconsider funding the vital work of the forums.
