The North Wales Safeguarding Board are supporting the National Learning Disability Week (15-21 June 2026), hosted by Mencap.
This year’s theme is ‘Do you see me?’ which is all about being seen, heard and valued. It aims to challenge the barriers that people with learning disabilities face and to celebrate their contributions to society.
Do you know how to report concerns if you are worried about someone with a Learning Disability?
Promoting a better understanding of the barriers that people with a learning disability face will allow them to be safe in communities and free from the risk of discrimination, hate crime and abuse.
Adult safeguarding is about keeping people safe and protecting them from abuse and neglect, including self-neglect, wherever possible. Safeguarding enquiries should be made where:
- a person is 18 years or over;
- a person has needs for care and support;
- is experiencing, or at risk of, abuse or neglect; and
- as a result of their care and support needs, is unable to protect him or herself against abuse or neglect, or the risk of it.
