All behaviour happens for a reason. Instead of trying to stop it, try to understand the message that is behind it. Today we have launched a new resource to support healthcare staff - #LearningDisabilityWeek25 #DoYouSeeMe?

Looking forward to sharing all your stories this week.#LearningDisabilityWeek25

This week marks the start of Learning Disability Awareness Week. The theme is Do you see me?. All about ensuring people with a learning disability are seen, heard and valued. We will be sharing various projects over the next week. #LearningDisabilityWeek25 #DoYouSeeMe?

#learningdisabilityweek25 The theme for today is "MythBusting" during today we will be sharing common myths versus the reality.

Anyone can notify the death of a person with learning disability or autistic person. It is everyone’s responsibility. Learning from LeDeR helps the NHS & social care make improvements in stopping early & preventative deaths. #LearningDisabilityWeek25

Learning disability nurses play a vital role in supporting people with a learning disability to be seen, valued & heard👩‍⚕️. It is a rewarding & varied role to help people to stay well. ➡️. @necldnetwork . #DoYouSeeMe? #LearningDisabilityWeek25.

#LearningDisabilityWeek25. Myth: People with a Learning Disability have a high pain threshold. Reality: This is a false and harmful belief. People with a Learning Disabilities experience pain in the same way as others, they just may struggle to express it in a meaningful way.
