We support Scottish Commission for People with Learning Disabilities 12 points plan ๐๐
SCLD has launched a new 12 Point Plan for Change setting out key priorities for the next Scottish Government.
The plan has been shaped by the voices and experiences of people with learning disabilities and has support from 18 of our partner organisations across the third sector.
As a central priority, the plan asks the next Scottish Government to bring forward an LDAN Bill. The LDAN Bill represents a critical opportunity to address the systemic inequalities and barriers that people with learning disabilities experience every day. And the recently published proposals for LDAN Bill provisions provide a strong basis for an incoming government to progress a Bill early in the next Parliament.
The plan also sets out concrete actions to:
โ Improve health outcomes
โ Strengthen rights
โ Support independent living
โ Reform social care
โ Build more inclusive communities and workplaces
As we approach the 2026 election, SCLD is asking all political parties and candidates to commit to the 12 Point Plan and work with people with learning disabilities to deliver real change.
With the right policies, attitudes and investment, Scotland can do better โ and build a fairer Scotland where people with learning disabilities can live healthy, independent and fulfilling lives as equal citizens.
