Equal People supports people with learning disabilities and their families and carers to make their own decisions and choose how they want to be supported, with the same rights as other people in Kensington & Chelsea -  to be able to work, have sexual relationships and children, take part in community life, and to be safe from harassment and abuse

Equal People supports people with learning disabilities to:

• Find out about the opportunities we have
• Choose what we want to do
• Plan how to make it happen.
• Provide us with the information and support that we need to make it happen

Equal People staff support people with learning disabilities to:

• Speak and be heard
• Learn new skills
• Try out new experiences
• Understand responsibilities
• Gain confidence
• Be a valued member of society and fully involved in community life
