Could you give your time to help give adults with Learning Disabilities a voice? CASBA Advocacy is looking for new Trustees to join the board from September this year. Do you have: • a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion? • An ability to speak your mind while showing good independent judgement? • A desire to give something back to the community while using and stretching your professional skills in a charity context? If you answered yes to all three questions, this could be the opportunity for you. See this page for full details. Our Ambassadors talk about getting the vaccine
CASBA support people with a Learning Disability to self-advocate. We think everyone has the right to easy read or accessible information. This will make it easier for people to understand what the COVID 19 vaccination is and make their own decisions. If you are unsure about having the vaccination, we think you should talk to a medical professional, like your doctor. CASBA's Ambassadors who have had the vaccine would like to reassure people about what it's like: You can download this statement with added pictures below.
There is also an easy read leaflet about the vaccination from Public Health England to download and the latest guidance from the government about how we will exit from lockdown restrictions.
