FORCED OUT: Learning Disabled Adults Demand More Housing Rights with Ron Brown from Our Life, Our Choice

Adults with learning difficulties are being moved out of their homes against their wills - with some ending up in secure accommodation.

Around forty "villages" have been shut down over the past few years and many residents face problems finding suitable housing.

Campaigners say adults with learning difficulties and their families are not being listened to.

In this conversation, journalist Angela Walker speaks with Ron Brown from the charity Our Life, Our Choice about the pressing need for more choice and better accommodation options for adults with learning disabilities. 

They discuss the challenges faced by individuals in finding suitable living arrangements, the role of regulatory bodies, and the importance of advocacy and community involvement in ensuring that the voices of those affected are heard.
