The council says the programme has been designed to raise awareness of learning disabilities, with everyone welcome to take part, including those with learning disabilities, parents, carers and practitioners.

Bracknell Forest Council’s Executive Member for adult services, health and housing, Councillor Dale Birch, said:

“Bracknell Forest Council is committed to improving outcomes for adults with learning disabilities and their carers.

“I would like to encourage everyone to support and celebrate Learning Disability Awareness Week by participating in the fantastic programme of events on offer.”
