This action plan sets out the Welsh Government's overarching strategic agenda for the development and implementation of learning disability policy for the remainder of the current term of government, 2022 to 2026. The action plan (and associated delivery plan) is a living document and will be updated to reflect any changes to priorities and circumstances as they arise. It is designed to be flexible and contains actions that can reasonably be expected to be achieved given the ongoing focus on pandemic recovery and limits on available resources. Priority areas identified in the plan include: overarching/cross-cutting, including cross-government activity that may not sit in one specific area; COVID recovery; health, including reducing health inequalities and avoidable deaths; social services and social care; facilitating independent living and access to services through increased access to advocacy and self-advocacy skills, engagement and collaboration; education including children and young people's services; employment and skills; housing - appropriate housing, close to home, access to joined-up services; and transport.

Within the strategy, the organisation recognises that there is a need for a range of different types of advocacy to meet different needs and that different types of advocacy will suit different people at different times in their lives.
