2. Peer support could probably replace professional support because women with learning disabilities understand each other better than services do.
False: Peer support works best alongside professional services. It can strengthen engagement and trust but does not replace specialist support or safeguarding responsibilities.
3. Services should actively provide or signpost to peer support opportunities rather than hoping they happen informally.
