Take Notice

Take Notice is our campaigning group for CLASP members only.

​

The group started 15 years ago and works hard to make things better for people with learning disabilities within the local area.

​

• We have done a lot of work around raising awareness of Hate Crime. We have done workshops and presentations and helped to get our Hate Crime Reporting Centre set up.

• We established the Wokingham Safer Places scheme – a sticker that goes in shop windows and businesses to let vulnerable people know that it is somewhere they can go if they feel unsafe.

• Read more about the scheme here.

• We worked on a campaign called Travel Wise. The aim of the campaign was to help people with learning disabilities stay safe and be more independent when out and about. The group looked at things like the problems people have with public transport and crossing busy roads around Wokingham. They also worked with PCSO Vicki Williams from Thames Valley Police to produce a Travel Wise booklet. This is a top tips guide about staying safe when out and about and using public transport. If you would like a paper copy or copies for your group, please get in touch.
