- how they make their events accessible for people with learning disabilities

The Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) last week celebrated the new cohort of 30 graduates from its National Traineeship programme, marking two decades of supporting and training people with experience of drug and alcohol problems to work in social care.
The trainees undertook field placements in local partner agencies across Scotland over the course of a nine-month salaried traineeship.
The SDF says, for the first time this year, funding from Scottish government has allowed it to increase the scale and scope of the programme, providing more spaces to people experiencing employment barriers across Scotland.
