Introducing ‘Include for Good’
‘Include For Good’ is the Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities’ (SCLD) programme for change.
Include For Good is about ensuring that people with learning disabilities are included in every aspect of Scottish life and challenge the status quo. The programme will consist of 10 people with learning disabilities who will work with the SCLD board, leaders and organisations across Scotland to help change attitudes and make Scotland a more equal place.
Include For Good wants to create a world where people with learning disabilities are seen, heard and fully supported to live their best life.
Why we need Include For Good
People with learning disabilities in Scotland, and their families and carers, need transformative change to happen.
They currently face discrimination and a denial of their human rights in almost every aspect of life.
In terms of education, health, employment, justice and many other areas, people with learning disabilities have the poorest outcomes of anyone.
This has to change.
Get Involved
Are you someone with a learning disability?

A Rapporteur is:

Initial Planning
SCLD has been working with a group of trusted advisers, people with learning disabilities, who know that change has to happen.
They have helped to shape our thinking about Include For Good and the role of the Rapporteur.
Our trusted advisers have challenged us to think differently, to go further and to plan to change Scotland for good.
Allies
To achieve the transformative change people with learning disabilities require, Include For Good will need many allies.
