Consultations
The PMLD Network lobbies the government to try to improve the lives of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).
A consultation is when the government asks people what they think of their ideas for new policies and laws.
We respond to consultations that affect people with PMLD. We want to make sure that new policies and laws consider the needs of people with PMLD.
