“You have to always highlight the stuff that you can’t do. It makes you feel bad”
In this important blog, Richard explains what it feels like to be assessed again and again in order to keep his benefits and support

Thank you for sharing!
Can you help us find study participants? I am part of the READY Study team. We want to listen to family or paid carers of people with a learning disability who died, learning more about people who died of something other than cancer or dementia. Get in touch if you want to find out more
Missed our webinar? The recording is now on YouTube, so you can catch up!

Academic writing retreat! I’d never heard of it, let alone been on one, but it was glorious. In Yorkshire, with 5 of my lovely colleagues, cut off from the world (no emails!), between us we worked on 2 grant applications and 4 academic articles. Also included: walks, lamas, yoga and great food!
Excellent name for the co-production group. It does what it says on the tin! As always, our colleagues with learning disabilities nailed it with unambiguous language
Can’t believe it’s a year already! What a great project & great team
My colleague Richard told the BBC he found the findings "really upsetting".
"People are still dying quite young and are not getting the right support and care. It could be me or it could be somebody I know and I want these deaths to be taken really seriously."

“It’s very important that people read this report”. Find it here: www.kcl.ac.uk/research/leder
Easy read and accessible versions of the LeDeR 2023 report are available to ensure findings reach everyone. These materials make research accessible to people with a learning disability, their families, and carers.
Here is the video made by the Staying Alive and Well Group

The new LeDeR report is now available. The 2023 annual report analyses the deaths of 3,556 people with a learning disability & autistic people who died in 2023. The work is part of efforts to reduce health inequalities.

Out with a bang, literally! Ours was the final presentation on the final conference day, and just as we finished, Utrecht’s church bells rang out

Got all excited to see this IKEA coffin at #ddd17 conference. A snip at €80. I want one! My family and friends can decorate it. I find the DIY approach helpful
Then I discovered it was a hoax. Alas! Perhaps we should start a please-sell-affordable-coffins-on-the-high street movement?
Brilliant book. Stories about life, not death - because everyone who dies, even if they have no-one in their life (anymore) who can organise their funeral, has a story. Loved listening to Evie King at the #DDD17 conference book group yesterday. Her talk, like her book, made me laugh, cry - and think
Not to be missed!
Arrived at the DDD Conference (Death, Dying & Disposal) in Utrecht, Netherlands! Accompanied, as usual, by our team mascot Pierre
Looking forward to hearing about research and experiences from cultures, societies and minoritised groups across the world
