Since the Panorama programme a few weeks ago Inclusion North has been part of a small group of organisations that have met to talk about what happened at Winterbourne View and how we it can be stopped fromhappening again. That group includes the Co Chairs of the National Forum for people with Learning Disabilities, National Valuing Families Forum and other leading organisations or individuals.That group's ideas have been framed into a national response that says the major steps they think are needed - 86 organisations have now signed up to support these ideas.That response has been sent to the Prime Minister & relevant ministers as a letter. A copy of the letter and an Easy Read summary is attached. If you think Inclusion North can support any work you may be doing to respond to the programme or if you have comments or ideas please get in touch with Samantha Clark, Chief Executive, Inclusion North, Tech North,9 Harrogate Road, Leeds LS7 3NB Mobile: 07823 536603 or Call Danny on 0113 2626409
