Am I Invisible? Using co-production to advocate change in social care

Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic: A co-production project with people with learning disabilities and autism.

Materials

SCIE has captured learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic to advocate change in social care for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.

By holding discussions and workshops with commissioners, service providers, and with our co-production group, the SCIE Fliers, we were able to capture experiences and learnings from the pandemic. These have been documented in several materials, titled ‘Am I Invisible?’, that you can view on this page.

The materials have been used to inform a comprehensive guidance document from SCIE, ‘Tackling inequalities in care for people with learning disabilities and autistic people: A guide for adult social care professionals’.
