Today we started a vital year for the #rights of people with learning disabilities in Scotland with a #RightsNow! event to hear views from @Enable_Tweets members on @ScotGov #LDAN Bill consultation and how protecting their rights in law can make #inclusion real in our communities

First days back don’t get much better than congratulating Enable’s Honorary President, Hazel Irvine, on her #MBE for services to sport & #charity & talking about the year ahead.
Lots to discuss for our 70th anniversary events at @TIC_conferences & @UofGlasgow. #BreakingBarriers
