Mencap – Survey for people with a learning disability

Message from Mencap:

We would like to invite people with a learning disability to take part in the first national

survey of people with a learning disability in 15 years!

The survey is the chance for people with a learning disability to share their experiences. It

was fully co-produced by people with a learning disability, and asks questions on topics they

say are important to them, including health, relationships, employment and inclusion.

Mencap hopes that the findings will be useful across the sector, to fill in our knowledge gaps

and help provide even better support to people with a learning disability. We will share the

findings later in the summer, and share the data so that other organisations can use it too.

Help us to make this the biggest survey of people with a learning disability ever! Please

share the survey with your networks and any adults with a learning disability you know.

Take part here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/big-learning-disability-survey

For more information, Easy Read FAQs, supporter guidelines and the Welsh language

version of the survey, please visit: https://www.mencap.org.uk/big-learning-disability-survey

If you have any questions please email the Research team research@mencap.org.uk

Thank you very much,
