This year’s Scottish Learning Disability Week’s theme is I am here…to be seen.
Being seen means being listened to, included, valued and respected.
Scottish Learning Disability Week is about raising awareness, but it’s also about inspiring action.
Our Wall of Action is the campaign’s call to action. It invites individuals, schools, employers, public services, charities and community groups to commit to one positive action that will help people with learning disabilities feel seen, heard and included.
Together, these individual actions become a visible national movement for change.
Every action matters. Every action helps create change.
Together, we will build a Scotland where everyone belongs.
Ready to make a difference? Add your pledge to the Wall of Action and show your commitment to creating a more inclusive Scotland.
