Elfrida Society

The Elfrida Society has worked with people with learning difficulties since 1919.
They believe that people with learning difficulties are excluded from society because their strengths are not valued and their needs are not recognised.
Their aim is to identify and promote the best ways of supporting people to live their lives in the way they want to.
They do this by:
- Pioneering new approaches, and developing and managing a range of innovative projects.
- Stimulating debate and influencing practice and policy in Britain.
- Enabling dialogue between people with learning difficulties and policy makers.
- Supporting self-organisation and initiatives taken by people with learning difficulties.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
