Learning Disability Matters for Families - Inclusion North

About Us

The North East and Cumbria Learning Disability Network, Inclusion North, parents and other professionals have worked together to develop the website and a web app.

The ‘Learning Disability Matters for Families’ Web site and App will give parents, carers & families straightforward, pragmatic, realistic information that is aimed to help them day to day, know where to go for further help and understand what they are entitled to.

Our Values

We believe in Equality.  We value everyone equally.  Everyone should have opportunities to live the life they choose. 

Rights

Everyone has the right to choice and control in their life. 

Justice 

We speak up when this doesn't happen. 

Inclusion for all 

We include everyone with a learning disability or autism. 

What We Do

We work with local areas in the North East, Yorkshire and Humber. Local areas join Inclusion North as members. We work with them on local projects to increase inclusion for people with a learning disability or autism and their families.

We support regional work around bigger issues that affect everyone. We are part of bigger pieces of work that affect the whole country. We employ people with a learning disability or autism and family carers as Experts with lived experience in our Expert Hub. 

Who We Are

Inclusion North exists to make inclusion a reality for all people with a learning disability or autism and their families. Inclusion means everyone living good lives as valued members of society. We work to change society so that everybody can have a good life.

We raise awareness of the barriers to inclusion for people with a learning disability or autism and their families, and work to remove them.
