People with profound and multiple learning disabilities and the internet
Thursday 20 February 2025 | 1pm to 3.15pm
- We like to share pictures online
- Sharing online can help people to be seen and heard
- People who have PMLD are people first
- They have feelings and experiences
- They find communication difficult
- They may not understand what it means to share information online
- They may not be able to consent to online sharing
So parent-carers may consent for them – is this OK? Can we explain online sharing to people? How can we involve them?
