Advocacy drop-in at Greenwood Centre
Advocacy supports you to have a voice in things that matter to you and to understand your rights.
If you are an adult with a learning disability and have support from CLDS, you can attend drop-in events at the Greenwood Centre. At the event, you can speak to a CLDS nurse about hospital passports, how to get one, how to fill it in and how to share it with staff to make your time in hospital easier.
Other resourcesA Sunflower lanyard is a simple, optional way for someone to show they have a disability or condition that might not be visible. It helps people let others know they may need a bit more time, understanding or support when they’re out and about, without having to explain.
You can get a Sunflower lanyard for free from some places like transport hubs, shops or services that support the scheme. Click here to learn more about how to get one.
