The 40-year-olds who are in bed by 5pm
New research has revealed that the quality of life for some people with learning disabilities can decline after they hit the big 4-0.
Manchester Metropolitan University researchers came across cases of people who were still being cared for by their parents and others who were being sent to bed at 5pm.
Emma Tracey asks lead researcher, Professor Sara Ryan why this is happening and what can be done to improve the situation.
Also in this episode, Labour’s Marie Tidball gives an insight into her early days in office as a high profile, newly-elected, disabled MP.
