Great to hear about news and journalism in #Easylanguage in different European countries as a democratic right at #KLAARA conference. Still far to go for people with communication support needs in UK 😕

A few years ago @juliaunwin did a brave thing. If we want to change social care those of us with any role of influence need to tell a different story in a different way. If we don’t it won’t. It’s that simple. And we can. socialcarefuture.org.uk/conf…
