For the past few weeks, Voice for All have been busy updating their easy read booklet ‘How best to support me – Friendships and Relationships‘.
‘Friendships’ and ‘Relationships’ are core values of Voice for All and the Brothers of Charity Services and we believe that people with a learning disability have the same rights as anyone else to friendships and meaningful and loving relationships. We believe we all have the right to fall in love if we want to.
This easy read booklet was originally produced when self-advocates and members of the Voice for All Advocacy Group met to talk about the support we need from our support staff when it comes to making, developing and maintaining friendships and relationships.
Making friends, finding love and having a special relationship with someone of your choice are important to us all.
People with a disability are no different to anyone else. Friendships and relationships are really important to us too!
This leaflet will give you some guidance about what people with a learning disability feel is important when supporting them with their friendships and relationships.
