Louise Price
Caerphilly People First
I am Vice-Chair of Caerphilly People First and as part of
my work with the University of Glamorgan I have made a training
video to show students nurses how to treat people with learning
disabilities, to respect them and talk to them properly. I
use public transport with my friend called Kath who came with
me last Monday to the office. It was brilliant and I feel
good that I can have a little bit more independence. Last
July I went to Croatia with All Wales People First to talk
to other advocacy groups. We told them what All Wales People
First is all about and talked to them about speaking up for
your rights.
