What We Do
​​Speak Out supports people through self-advocacy, individual advocacy and systemic advocacy.
This means helping people have their rights respected, their voices heard, and more control over their lives.
Speak Out also delivers projects by ourselves, and with other organisations and makes sure all work includes the ideas and lived experience of people with intellectual disability.
As part of our Easy Read and inclusion work, Speak Out helps organisations make information easier to understand through Easy Read, animations and user testing.

Advocacy means supporting people with disability to have their rights respected, their voices heard, and real control over their lives.
​
Advocacy can happen in different ways. The three we help with are:
-
Self-Advocacy
-
Individual Advocacy
-
Systemic Advocacy
These all work together to create change.
