Mencap Brent

Brent Mencap is the leading voluntary sector organisation in Brent working with and on behalf of people of all ages with a learning disability.

We believe that everyone is entitled to an active and fulfilling existence, full human and civil rights and to feel valued as a member of the community.

We seek to reduce the disadvantage and discrimination experienced by children and adults with a learning disability.

We support user empowerment and the development of services that are responsive to user needs and wishes.

We recognise that family and friends of children and adults with learning disabilities may experience disadvantage and discrimination as a result of their caring responsibilities. We seek to support them in their role and not disadvantage them further by our work.

Children and adults with a learning disability have a right:

To realise their potential as an individual

To make decisions about their own lives

To be listened to

To be valued and treated with dignity and respect

To form relationships and friendships

To contribute to society

To have an adequate income

To privacy

To be safe from abuse and neglect

To receive assistance on their terms
