The petition has now passed 1,000 signatures. Keep sharing and keep signing.

People with a learning disability and autism should not be detained in hospitals simply because of a lack of adequate housing and support in communities.

Learning disability is not a mental health issue.

Yet the new First Minister included learning disabilities under the portfolio for mental health.

Enough is enough. Disabled people are not the problem.

Last week the Prime Minister made a speech about so-called 'sicknote culture'. He also proposed major changes to disability benefits.

Today we're launching a petition in response to this full-on assault of disabled people.

As part of the protest, Ruth, an individual we support, wants to share her story.

New research from Resolution Foundation says single people with a long-term disability that stops them from working - including a - could be £2800 worse off per year under Universal Credit.
