Vaccinations
A number of our members at Saffron Walden Mencap who are under 50 but have mild or moderate
learning
disabilities
do not have a date yet for vaccination. In light of the recent campaign by Edel Harris who can I contact on their behalf to speed it for them.

I have joined this group because my adult son is living with Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 diabetes and has
learning
disabilities
. He lives independently with support for an hour or so each day. He had a home visit from his Renal Nurse to begin the conversation about dialysis.

Coronavirus vaccination video for people with learning disabilities
I wondered if you might find this helpful - it is a short, accessible video about the vaccine. https://youtu.be/e3_uVzexkBU There are also three accessible guides from Public Health England (PHE) that you might not have seen here: •PHE easy read Covid vaccination leaflet - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Mother of a Child with ADHD/Learning Disabilities
He is sorely behind grade level but you could argue that is more his
learning
disabilities
and not the ADHD or a potent combination of both. 2. Does 2x a week of play therapy sound like a lot? The stress of commuting twice a week is starting to wear on me on top of home/work/school life.

I need to vent - any advise is welcome
The end of last year we had them retested, testing was actually for
learning
disabilities
, ADHD was re-diagnosed as well as dyslexia. My wife and I have never really dealt with ADHD, to be very transparent, I feel like I'm being punished.

Looking for ideas or advice
My brother is 28 with
learning
disabilities
. He has no job or hobbies so I'm wondering if anyone can suggest anything. He's also mentioned finding a home to call his own so any advice here would be great too. Thanks

Can someone with learning disabilities ask a friend to complain to Local Authority and Ombudsman on her behalf if she lacks capacity?
Is it possible to be independently assessed if your capacity has been deemed to be in doubt when wanting a friend to make a complaint on your behalf? If so, by whom?
