People with a learning disability should get support in their community: Simon and Ann's story

https://www.mencap.org.uk/get-involve... Simon spent 15 months at Winterbourne View where he was abused and neglected. Now Simon is free, living independently and his care costs half as much. Listen to his story. Over 2000 people with a learning disability or autistic people are being held in inpatient mental health hospitals in England. It’s a human rights scandal that Mencap want to stop. Many people are locked up because there is a lack of the right community support, skilled social care, and suitable housing - not because of a mental health problem. #WinterbourneView #Panorama #HomesNotHospitals
