Our latest Policy Shaper newsletter
March 2024
This month we want to talk to you about...
day services
Day services are things some people with a
learning disability
A learning disability is to do with the way someone's brain works. It makes it harder for someone to learn, understand or do things.
do in the day, usually as part of a group. For example: drama or craft.
.
We also want to know if day services near you have been closed down and how this makes you feel.
Last month we asked Policy Shapers about...
banking and how they manage their money.
Policy Shapers told us that...
they sometimes find it difficult to access their bank account because information is not
accessible
Accessible means something is easy for people to use or join in with. For example: Accessible writing means the writing is easy to read and understand.
.
Policy Shapers also told us how banks can make their services better.
We will be using your answers ...
in our meetings with banks and with
the Government
The Government are the people who run the country. The Government decide how much tax people should pay and how things like the National Health Service (NHS) should work.
, so they know how to improve banking services for people with a learning disability.
