can come for immediate advocacy and Information, a number of self-
advicacy groups including the Being Heard in Government group - where we encourage people to get involved in democracy, The Thumbs Up project where we train local businesses and service providers to engage with people with learning difficulties in a positive way.  1:1 Advocacy,
