We want Wales to be the best country in the world for people with a learning disability to live, learn and work

In November 2019 at our annual conferences in south Wales and north Wales we were proud to launch our new 5 year strategy for April 2019 to March 2024.

Our new strategy is a result of a year-long consultation with the learning disability sector in Wales, from people with a learning disability and their families, to professionals and service providers working with people with a learning disability.

The strategy sets out our plans for the next five years, including our three areas of priority (which will be reviewed after two years):

  • Health and well-being
  • Education and
  • Employment

To support this we will:

  • co-create with our stakeholders across the whole of Wales
  • have a greater presence within more communities in Wales and
  • work with wider society to reduce the stigma that people with a learning disability still face.

Zoe Richards, Chief Executive Officer, said

“It is with much enthusiasm that we launch our 5 year strategy for Learning Disability Wales. It has been a year of reflection and pushing boundaries to better understand the new uncertain world we are living in and how people with a learning disability are able to live in a changing Wales whilst making valued contributions to today’s society.
