💜 One of the changes in our new strategy is moving away from the more 'traditional' medical model of disability and towards the social model of disability. ❓ But what is the difference? 🚧 The social model takes the view that with the right support and a fully accessible society, people can overcome these barriers. The medical model focuses more on 'fixing' or resolving the disability with medical interventions. 👇 You can learn more about our new, long-term strategy, here: https://loom.ly/vxJtOZo
👀 When we launched our long-term strategy and fresh new look, you may have spotted our new strap line: 'Learning disability allies' 🤔 But what is an 'ally'? 💜 Being an ally is about taking action, making a stand and doing something to make a difference.

Your way.' 💜 To enable us to achieve our ambitious strategy, we have refreshed our brand and introduced a new strapline, Learning disability allies, to help us be clearer about who we are and what we do, and reach more people – which is now more important than ever.
