Ahead of the 2nd Reading in @UKHouseOfLords, #NDSPG Patron & Actor @TommyJessop has launched our #AssistedDyingBill campaign with a powerful letter raising concerns about the bill’s lack of robust safeguards. Read his letter here shorturl.at/oUPNK Lord (David) Alton Annunziata Rees-Mogg

Improved healthcare means many people with #DownSyndrome now outlive their parents but who will protect them? Veronique Garrett calls on @UKHouseOfLords to put robust safeguards in place to protect the vulnerable. #NotCollateralDamage #SafeNotSorry Theresa May florence garrett

Parents warn @UKHouseOfLords: Without robust safeguards, individuals with learning disabilities remain at risk of coercion & may struggle to fully understand & consent to end-of-life decisions, with & without appropriate adjustments being made. #NotCollateralDamage #SafeNotSorry

Rushed legislative process & inadequate scrutiny of the #AssitedDyingBill has left many people feeling angry & scared. @UKHouseOfLords must not be afraid to slow the process, ask tough questions & protect the vulnerable from harm #NotCollateralDamage #SafeNotSorry Heidi Crowter-Living the dream

Bill sponsor Kim Leadbeater MBE MP dismissed concerns about the #AssistedDyingBill as “noise”. Ahead of the 2nd Reading, NDSPG Trustee fionnathan tells House of Lords “We deserve support to live, not pressure to die.” #NotCollateralDamage #SafeNotSorry

The first duty of law is to protect the vulnerable. This bill fundamentally fails that test. If the @UKHouseOfLords allows it to pass without safeguards, the most vulnerable will pay the price. #SafeNotSorry #NotCollateralDamage Wes Streeting Philip Mounstephen Not Dead Yet

Vulnerability grows when people can’t understand the process. Without communication support & proper capacity tests, this bill leaves them exposed. @UKHouseOfLords must act to safeguard the vulnerable #SafeNotSorry #NotCollateralDamage Frank Cottrell-Boyce Shabana Mahmood MP Natalie Bennett

Safeguards aren’t optional. They are what stand between genuine choice & dangerous pressure. Without them, the Assisted Dying Bill risks turning autonomy into vulnerability & leaving lives unprotected. #SafeNotSorry #NotCollateralDamage Tanni Grey-Thompson Lord (David) Alton Philip Mounstephen

When current practice already routinely fails people with #DownSyndrome & LD, the #AssistedDyingBill cannot afford to add further risk. Without clear safeguards, it does just that, leaving those people more vulnerable than ever. House of Lords must not let this happen. DSRF_UK

“Nobody has the right to judge the value of a life. But House of Lords has a duty to protect it.” The #Assisted Dying Bill, without robust safeguards, risks turning choice into pressure, leaving vulnerable people unprotected. #SafeNotSorry #NotCollateralDamage Lord (David) Alton

Another story I have done, I am proud 😊 of myself. downs-syndrome.org.uk/news/our-stori…

Protection of the vulnerable is a human right, not an option. It shouldn’t fall to campaigners to sound the alarm on missing safeguards in a Bill waved through by @HouseOfCommons. The Commons failed, @UKHouseOfLords must not. #SafeNotSorry #NotCollateralDamage Baroness Cox News

Did you know that legacy giving is a powerful way to promote the work of the charities you love? Legacy gifts from individuals left to charitable causes are creating waves of change and growth across the UK. According to Remember a Charity: “Currently 6% of people leave a gift to

Now House of Lords DP&R Reform Committee warns the #AssistedDyingBill “lacks detail for proper scrutiny” - calling it “skeleton legislation” & “highly inappropriate….sweeping, unspecified, unjustified powers.” Read full report here: shorturl.at/mzOEN Lord Peter Hendy
