We're calling for caring to be made the 10th protected characteristic, as too often carers feel invisible, are overlooked, and discriminated against. This will be one strand of our ambitious new strategy for carers, to be launched in April 2021. More here: carersuk.org/news-and-campai…

I can’t quite believe this isn’t being shouted about and discussed more in the news. This is horrifying 😔
Today’s @ONS data yet again shows the huge differences in the #COVID19 death rate for people with a #LearningDisability.
Men with a learning disability are dying at 3.5 times the rate of men in the general population.
For women it was as much as four times higher. (1/3)
