Introducing 'Include For Good'
SCLD is delighted to launch 'Include For Good' a new programme of transformational change that will see people with learning disabilities leading the way across all aspects of Scottish life.
A group of 10 people with a learning disability will lead this revolution and co-design Include For Good. These people will be the 'Rapporteurs'.
