People with learning disabilities in the UK have the right to live independently, make choices, and be treated fairly.
They are protected by laws like the Equality Act 2010, which ensures protection against discrimination in work, education, and public services.
They also have the right to access healthcare, housing, and social services, and can receive support to help them live their lives fully.
Local authorities must provide necessary care and support, and individuals should be involved in decisions about their lives.
Advocacy services are available to help people with learning disabilities exercise their rights.
