Legislation promotes access for all adults with learning difficulties in order to prevent more expensive services to be called into action . To cancel these groups is causing trauma and denying their respect and dignity in forming friendship groups and the right as an adult to socialise independently within a safe environment whilst gaining confidence and life’s experiences.
