SUMMARY:Social Care Lunchtime Seminar: Empowering Voices
DESCRIPTION:Dr Harrison said she started the study because she feels there is a lack of research into the needs of people with learning disabilities. \nShe explained: “I think we don’t really understand people with learning disabilities. We can understand older people\, we can understand children\, but we can’t necessarily understand people who for so long were locked away in institutions and haven’t been part of our communities or our societies. \n“These are people who aren’t necessarily understood and who are most often overlooked.” \nJoin via this Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89609529803
