Peter & friends talk about COVID-19 and having a learning disability and/or autism

We thought it important to write this book as many of us feel that people with learning disabilities have been largely forgotten during the Covid pandemic. This book gives this gorup a voice and helps those voices to be heard and not only the specific difficulties people have experienced but the remarkable resilience they and their carers have shown. In writing their story many people have been assisted by family, friends and carers in different ways. This is why the style changes, to try and catch the person and their preferred style of communication. In the book are stories from people in a variety of different situations, including workplaces, family homes, in supported living, people in hospital including patients or staff in general hospitals, Assessment and Treatment Units and Medium Secure Units. It is our strong belief that everyone has the right to speak up and be heard wherever they are, and this should be respected. Everybody has a voice, and everybody matters whoever they are, and it is our duty to assist them to be heard.
