Our annual conference 2018 All our futures looked at how we can invest in a better future for people with a learning disability by changing the way we do things and doing different things.
The world around us is changing and the money we have to help us adjust is decreasing. We must promote well-being and ensure rights are protected now and in the future. To do this we need to adapt and meet changing expectations by exploring all the resources we have available, including new technology.
The conference theme drew on the relevant key laws and policies in Wales:
Huw Irranca-Davies AM, Minister for Children, Older People and Social Care
Sally Holland, Children’s Commissioner for Wales
Vanessa Morse, Hijinx theatre
Hannah and Tim Hayes, parents
Vision 21
Zoe Richards, Learning Disability Wales Gig Buddies project
Adrian Roper, Samantha Taylor and Michelle Thomas, Cartrefi Cymru Cooperative
