Learning Disability Week 2024
The third week in June is Learning Disability Week, an annual awareness event arranged by the charity, Mencap.
The theme for this years’ week is – ‘Do you see me?’ – a question that aims to highlight the challenges and barriers people with a learning disability are faced with on a daily basis. However, Mencap have expanded upon this theme by assigning every day of the week it’s very own question:
- Monday 17 June: “Do you see me?”
- Tuesday 18 June: “Do you understand me?”
- Wednesday 19 June: “Will you work with me?”
- Thursday 20 June: “Do you hear me?”
- Friday 21 June: “Do you include me?”
- Saturday 22 June: “Will you support me?”
- Sunday 23 June: A summary of the week.
It’s an excellent idea and, as people working and learning within a training environment, a great example of the type of questions we should be asking ourselves. We encourage you to visit the official Mencap Website to read more about what you can do to get involved.
