Your rights in hospital

With Bradford Talking Media, Bradford People First and Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, we have made resources to help ensure that children with a learning disability (aged 0 to 5) get the support they need when they are in hospital and how reasonable adjustments can be made. 

There are 2 resources about getting the right care in hospital; one for parents and carers (PDF), and one for healthcare professionals (PDF).

This guide is about making reasonable adjustments (PDF).

Amy's resolutions for 2021!

Looking to 2021, I would like to:

  1. Get the coronavirus vaccine to help fight off the virus.
  2. Enjoy films and tv programmes at home via Netflix and DVDs.
  3. Get back into knitting and other crafting activities that I can do at home.
  4. Hopefully be able to see and hug my family and friends again.
  5. Go to the shops that are open when I can, and hopefully to the theatre and cinema when it's safe!
