Let's pledge to do more.
@LearningDisEng Good Lives Manifesto has 6 pledges to improve lives of people with learning disabilities.
Over the next weeks, we're running blogs on these pledges by people with lived experience, starting with @mrscottwatkin 👇

ALT Scott Watkin in front of a manifesto that says 'Be a champion for the rights of all people with learning disabilities.' It has the logos for the Good Lives Manifesto, LDE, SeeAbility and Listen Up.
So glad I could complete this personal challenge to support @SeeAbility! The work continues to establish equitable, uniform, consistent and evidence led #eyecare services for children with SEN and adults with learning disabilities @LearningDisEng @NHSEngland!
The #eyecare team at SeeAbility have been looking after Eli since primary school. His glasses have supported learning & his communication.
Wish me luck as I challenge myself to a #triathlon for @SeeAbility

It was a very special moment advocating for an #EqualRightToSight with such support from @tuckwell_steve. Calling for a uniform best practice service for all children with #learningdisabilities across Hillingdon, indeed across all of @NHSEngland!
Terrific to host @tuckwell_steve today at Moorcroft special school to see the award winning special schools eye care service in action with @SeeAbility colleagues! Fab to have such support for an #EqualRightToSight
Thank you @tuckwell_steve for visiting Moorcroft school. @SeeAbility are so passionate about delivery of #eyecare to children with #learningdisabilities in special schools.
very proud of our work in Hillingdon as a model for @NHSEngland special schools eye care service.
On #StarsInOurSchools day and during #DisabilityHistoryMonth, I visited Moorcroft Special School for an informative session to see the fantastic work that @SeeAbility undertake there. It was an absolute delight to meet the young people & have a tour of the school 🏫
Integration of eyecare into @PrimaryCareNHS so pivotal for eye health to be integral to healthy outcomes in health and eye care! Just as important in the #unitedkingdom to ensure #optometry can deliver primary, and secondary #prevention!
Integration of eye care in national health services, including primary health care, is essential to ensure that the eye health needs of everyone, everywhere, are met.

Thank you @IAPB1 for chance @SeeAbility to write on eye care needs of over 100 million people with learning disabilities globally, who are at huge risk of sight loss & what can be done. And news of a positive step forward in England recently 👏👏👏iapb.org/blog/delivering-an-…

The decision to roll out the @NHSEngland Special Schools Eye Care Service to all children in special schools was made this month. To mark the milestone moment and find out more we visited @TVS_Kingsbury and spoke to @SeeAbility's, Malvi Patel and Mitch Reuben. Watch👇@NoLimitsNLP

The gap between how long & how healthily people live in the most & least deprived areas is unacceptable & avoidable.
Today, we've published our new health inequalities position statement & submitted our response to the Major Conditions Strategy.

Thank you for this piece!
I’ll be sending this to our #eyecare colleagues that look after adults, children and young people with autism.@SeeAbility @R_S_P_H @CollegeOptomUK @RCOphth
Thrilled that consultants are messaging me to say they're sending our Autistic SPACE paper to their incoming August teams as a pre read. This is exactly the sort of impact we were hoping for when we wrote it

Couldn’t agree more! Isn’t this your leadership style @rheumi_?! #nhscrisis
This is fabulous news @OrleyFarmSchool, especially ahead of #childrensmentalhealthweek starting next week!
Another @SeeAbility clinic in a #specialschool with children really engaged in their #eyehealth with the help of Mr Tumble.
Thank you @CBeebiesHQ!

Thank you to MP @BobBlackman who visited @kingsleyhigh today to see the special schools eye care service in action.
We introduced him to children, parents, teachers and clinicians involved in the service.
Great to have his support for an #EqualRightToSight!
