LeDeR
LeDeR is short for an NHS programme called ‘Learning from lives and deaths – People with a learning disability and autistic people’.
The LeDeR programme looks to learn from the lives and deaths of people with a Learning Disability or Autism, using this knowledge to improve services and reduce health inequalities. Health inequalities are unfair differences that are seen when someone receives healthcare.
Two members of staff, who are Experts by Experience, sit on the LeDeR Quality Assurance (QA) panel to ensure that the voices of those with lived experiences are heard.
As well as being involved in the QA panel, Inclusion Gloucestershire are also creating an accessible LeDeR bi-monthly newsletter and other Easy Read information resources.
