Stereotypes, attitudes and behaviours
Mencap will work to transform society’s attitudes to learning disability.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
By 2020, we will have:
- Improved our knowledge (and that of others who work in this area) of the impact of stigma and discrimination on people with a learning disability.
- Reduced stigma and discrimination through increasing contact among young people with and without a learning disability.
- Supported people with a learning disability to be more visible in the media in a positive way.
