We're supporting the Care Quality Commission's #DeclareYourCare campaign, encouraging people with a learning disability or autism, their family, carers and advocates to feedback on care.

CQC research reveals that people with a learning disability are more likely to regret not complaining about poor care than those without. The lack of information, about a health condition or treatment options not being well explained, are the main reasons for people with a learning disability or their carer to want to raise a concern. People with learning disabilities are also twice as likely to have concerns about maternity services and mental health services than people without a learning disability.  

• Half (50%) of adults with learning disabilities or their carers said that they have wanted to raise a complaint about the lack of information about their care or treatment. 
• People with learning disabilities are 17% more likely to regret not complaining about poor care than people without learning difficulties.  
• People with learning disabilities are twice as likely to have concerns about maternity services and mental health services than people without learning disabilities
