Help make Mencap's website better!

Hi everyone, Mencap are undergoing a huge project to make the website better than ever for people with a learning disability, parents, carers and professionals.

We are looking for some help with a survey that will help us work out how we can organise the information on our website in the best way.

If you can spare a few minutes and would like to help, you can take the survey at ows.io/tj/w04bfzug

Thanks!

I wish there was a freehand section where you could write comments. I had to skip the question “Where could you find out about Autism” because it just directed me to Learning Disability. I tried several times to get back to the Home section but it was stuck on learning disability.

Hi BarbaraGood , thanks for helping us out with this, and for letting me know you had an issue. I'd be happy to pass on any comments to the web team if you wanted to share some feedback? If you'd rather do this privately feel free to send me a message directly. 🙂

thank you, it is very kind of you to offer. It’s what I said already really, that it was difficult to navigate back to find out about Autism, I was stuck in Learning Disability page and couldn’t find the information I needed. Thank you.

Can I refer you to a thread entitled Supported Living - is there a future? This started 9 days ago and is still receiving comments along the same lines from families desperately worried as to what will happen to their sons/daughters when they are no longer able to help with support. This is a huge issue for very many of us which preys on our minds increasingly as we get older. As you will see it has been suggested that Mencap could be approached about this. It would be good to see someone from Mencap respond in some way.
