The Scottish Government is looking for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and neurodivergent people to be part of a new lived experience advisory panel to help them put together the Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Bill.
The Scottish Government has committed to introducing a Learning Disability, Autism and Neurodiversity Bill.
This Bill will ensure that the rights of autistic people, people with learning disabilities, and neurodivergent people are respected and protected. This Bill will also consider establishing a Commissioner to protect people’s rights in practice
They now want to establish a lived experience advisory panel to work with Scottish Government throughout the Bill process. This will be an opportunity for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and neurodivergent people to provide information about their views and experiences to Government to help improve lives for people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and other neurodivergent people in the future.
