Advocacy is nothing without advocates. This #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek, we asked some of our remarkable colleagues to tell us what advocacy means to them in just one sentence. This video is the result 🎥 #AAW23 #WhatIsAdvocacy #AdvocacyAwareness #DisabilityRights

2,000+ people with a learning disability and autistic people are being detained in mental health hospitals. The average stay is 5 years.

Eddie was locked up at 13, stuck in solitary confinement with a bowl for a toilet and fed through a hatch. Now he has spent almost half his life incarcerated while his family fight for his freedom. Why? Because he has autism & learning disabilities in a country lacking care

“Becoming yourself, getting yourself back again, doesn’t start until you’re out." 2,000+ people with a learning disability and autistic people are being detained in mental health hospitals. The average stay is 5 years. This is leading to trauma and loss of life.

Thanks for bringing national attention to Eddie’s story and many others - and for highlighting VoiceAbility’s campaign. It truly is a grotesque human rights scandal which must end.

MLMC member Pam features in this important film by VoiceAbility highlighting the devastating impact having to stay in a secure hospital can have on someone with a learning disability. #UseYourPower #DontLockUsAway

Pam's story — a #LearningDisabilityWeek thread 🧵 Pam, who has a learning disability, was admitted to a mental health hospital as a teenager. “Your rights are taken away from you in hospital...”

Pam is determined to fight for people with a learning disability and autistic people to get the right support to live in the community and reduce their detention in mental health hospitals. She featured in our Use Your Power video, which calls on government to make this change.

So while many watched a very dull England football match, I was listening to people with learning disabilities talk about (among other things) what success means to them. I think I won tonight. And Saba Salman asking all the right questions, like the true journo pro she is!

Absolutely appalling service from Home Telecom, after being transferred from Cuckoo. Not had the internet for A MONTH after you ‘ceased’ the service in error. Only thing you’ve done proactively is charge for a service I’ve not had, despite saying otherwise. Still no update.

Great day News UK for Media Trust’s speeding pitch event - fantastic opportunity to talk about the challenges disabled people face and the work VoiceAbility is doing to support people to be heard. Fingers crossed for some news coverage 😬🤞🏼 Oh, and the tour was fun too 😅

Not the circumstances you would want, but good to work with Adam Eley and Alison Holt on a story which needed to be told👇🏼
