Having A Voice^®

The DSA runs a project called Having A Voice^®.

We have a booklet in Easy Read with more information. You can download it here.

What is Having A Voice^®?

Having A Voice^® is about helping you have your say.

Having your say means being asked about what matters to you and other people listening to you.

Why should I have my say?

Having Your Say can help you in lots of ways. It can help you feel good about yourself. It can help you make choices. It can make you feel more confident. It can help you change things.

How can I have my say?
