The Association for Supported Living - annual conference

The Association for Supported Living (ASL) conference is one of the larger and longer established conferences on the UK learning disability conference circuit. This year’s conference takes place in Manchester on 24 November.

The usual focus of the conference is to promote Supported Living for people with learning disabilities. This year, due to the unprecedented level of cuts to public services, mainly borne by the most disadvantaged members of society, the ASL has teamed up with the Campaign for a Fair Society and part of the theme of the conference will be providing Supported Living in the context of significant cuts to a range of benefits and services and how the welfare benefit system could be reformed to make it fairer for all. In response to the cuts the ASL commissioned Housing Options to write and publish a Rights Handbook and this will be launched at the conference.
