Our campaign this year is about reasonable adjustments and raising awareness of the digital reasonable adjustment flag. Want to be a part of it? We are asking for short video clips of you sharing what your reasonable adjustments would be. #isitunreasonable #selfadvocacyworks

I’m Clive’s sister. Ten years in January. 27 placements broke down. A pledge belongs to government, not a minister. Families deserve more than a forced petition. Honour it. Say his name. Make the Clive Treacey Epilepsy Safety Checklist national. #ClivesWay

Sign our petition to the Prime Minister - SUDEP Action

We’re launching a petition to address the promises made by government to work with SUDEP Action and families to tackle SUDEP and epilepsy risk to prevent future deaths.

I held up a mirror with my brother Clive’s review today the government is smashing it by dismantling independent oversight is a calculation to protect themselves not the people who should still be alive. #SocialMurder @AliveLeder #DyingByDesign

Over half of adults with learning difficulties do not live past 65, report says

The government says the findings are stark, while a campaign group says they should be "headline news".

Starting this Monday. A week of bite sized videos with @AQuinnUnbroken leading up to the 15th anniversary of Winterbourne View.
Rightful Lives (@RightfulLives) profile pictureRightful Lives@RightfulLivesMay 19
On May 31st, it will be 15 years since the Panorama documentary about the abuse at Winterbourne View. Yet, despite all the promises, reviews and reports, it seems as if nothing has changed since then. The human rights abuse continues and there is no accountability. Rightful Lives will be marking the 7 day countdown to the anniversary with a series of short videos with @AQuinnUnbroken. Alexis will talk about the situation we are all in now and what needs to happen for change. The first video will be on 25th May. #Winterbourne15 #HumanRights #NothingHasChanged @DanielHewittITV @Rebeccasmt @RachelSkyNews @ianbirrell @JayneMcCubbinTV @Saba_Salman @IzzyAldersonB
