Policy work at the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities aims to influence, improve or change policy and law that affect the lives of people with learning disabilities and their families.

 

We also aim to influence, improve or change policy and law that affect services that provide support, care and treatment
