Zoe Richards, Chief Executive of Learning Disability Wales, welcomed the news:
“As an organisation working to improve the lives of people with a learning disability we are extremely pleased with the news that the Wales Learning Disability Helpline has secured funding.
“The helpline has been a constant in support services for people with a learning disability and their families for many years and we refer people on a regular basis. The specialist knowledge of the team and open access of the helpline is able to ensure people are supported to access their rights on a daily basis.”
