Welcome to the LDIAG website
We have done a lot of work to bring this site up to date and make it easier to find your way around. We are still working on it so please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions by e-mailing Samantha Williams, LDIAG Information Officer, at samantha.williams@learningdisabilitywales.org.uk.
The current Learning Disability Implementation Advisory Group (LDIAG) was set up in 2002 to oversee the Welsh Government's response to the report 'Fulfilling the Promises'. The group's role is to make sure that learning disabilities remain high on the agenda in Wales. It also advises the Welsh Government on learning disability issues and promotes the rights of people with learning disabilities.
Members of the group come from all sectors of the learning disabilities field including people with a learning disability, parents and carers, representatives from education, health, local authorities, research, the voluntary sector, service providers and individuals.
The group aims to build on the Welsh Government's vision for the future set out in the 2007 Statement on Policy and Practice for Adults with a Learning Disability. Click on the links to find out more about the history of the LDIAG, minutes of meetings or what the sub-groups are working on.
This website also contains lots of information about learning disability issues in Wales such as policies, reports, newsletters, events and useful contact details. Our aim is to keep you up to date on the latest developments in Wales for people with learning disabilities.
