The Learning Disability Coalition (LDC) is a group of fourteen organisations which campaigns to secure better funding for social care for people with learning disabilities in England.
[2] It believes that better funding from the UK Government is required to help people with learning disabilities to secure a full range of rights and opportunities.
The LDC aims to provide a unified voice for people with learning disabilities to government and other key decision makers; to raise awareness of financial pressures on services, and achieve an evidence-based assessment of the long-term resource requirements for people with learning disabilities.
As part of the campaign, the LDC produced 'Stories from the Frontline',[4] which included a series of diaries by people with a learning disability.
The LDC has been monitoring cuts to social care through its cutswatch feature,[5] and since the announcement of the Comprehensive Spending Review, has been calling on local councillors [6] to ensure that social care spending is protected at a local level.
