The Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Scotland
To mark the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, SCLD held a virtual roundtable, on incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) into Scottish law.
We have also issued a Position Statement on the incorporation of the UNCRPD in Scotland. We are asking stakeholder organisations across the learning disability sector to sign up to this statement.

We are delighted to launch the second in our series of reports exploring the results of the 2019 “How’s Life?” national survey of people with learning disabilities in Scotland, “Mostly a 10, but sometimes a zero”: Exploring the wellbeing of people with learning disabilities in Scotland.
