The paper explores ways in which the outcome of the SEND Review and Green Paper consultation could shift the way society thinks about people with learning disability by avoiding deficit language, that suggests people with learning disability are somehow incomplete or worth less, and makes the case for a more ambitious vision of what a good life is - placing greater value on difference, common values, the process of learning and more, to provide a healthy balance to meritocratic values of academics, occupation, and wealth.
This powerful paper, published in partnership with Ambition Institute, builds on the poignant and important blog written earlier this year by co-authors Ben Newmark and Tom Rees. Back to all policiesRead other policies based on these categories
