The Association for Real Change (ARC)
ARC's Vision is
To achieve real change that puts people with a learning disability, autism, or other additional support needs at the centre of decision-making, and in the heart of their communities.
ARC Supports:
People with a learning disability, autism, or other additional support needs, and their families
and
Everyone involved in the provision of support for people and their families. This includes those who plan, provide, commission, develop policies and regulate support and services.
ARC’s work:
- Support and develop
We improve practice by providing training that develops people’s awareness of rights and entitlements.
- Connect and Liaise
We change thinking by facilitating networks that make connections and share experiences between professionals, people who need support and their families.
- Influence and Voice
We challenge systems that can improve people’s lives by championing the voices of people with lived experiences and those who plan and deliver their support.
