@paradigmuk.bsky.social
A training and development organisation passionate about bringing people together to uphold the rights of people with learning disabilities to live good ordinary lives. We love to challenge the barriers and system thinking that gets in the way!
We’ve loved co-facilitating parts of the IMPORTANT project with Magdalena Mikulak and colleagues at Lancaster University, bringing together people with learning disabilities and others to explore suicide & self-harm. Vital work. Join our online workshop to hear what we’ve learned. All welcome!
Suicide, self-harm and learning disability : Findings from a scoping study
Join us for an online meeting where we tell you what research says about suicide and self-harm in people with learning disabilities.

#IDPwD #IDPwD2024 theme is “amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities”

Perfect time to talk about Gary Bourlet @learningdiseng.bsky.social Vicky Farnsworth & Jodie Bradley from @speakupsa.bsky.social

Their leadership was fundamental to the "No research about us without us" project
