Putting Fairness into Practice

Activity 8

Watch this short animation. The animation contains the voices of women with learning disabilities and is based on their lived experiences of seeking support for gender-based violence.

Fairness informed practice – poor practice

Now reflect on/discuss:

• How would you feel, and respond, if you were treated this way.
• How might your own personal experiences and beliefs about women with learning disabilities support unfairness?
• How do wider culture, society and organisations reinforce unfairness towards women with learning disabilities who have been affected by gender-based violence?

Now listen to what members of People First (Scotland)’s Equally Safe Group say about Fairness informed practice.

Watch the Equally Safe Group video about Fairness informed practice
