The corona crisis is a difficult time for all of us.

And for the 1.2 million people in the Netherlands with intellectual disabilities, the consequences are especially severe. A walk, an outing, a job, some human contact: it's all become a lot harder. The Social Cultural Planning Bureau (SCP) is therefore sounding the alarm today. I want the government to come to the aid of this vulnerable group of people. The SCP report shows that people with intellectual disabilities are more likely to be lonely, less involved in society and generally less satisfied with life. Running your own household, using public transport or doing the administration is not for everyone. This makes the consequences of the corona crisis more harsh on these people." The SCP report shows that people with intellectual disabilities are more likely to be lonely, less involved in society and generally less satisfied with life." The SCP survey shows that four out of ten people with intellectual disabilities earn little and cannot always rely on work, friends or family to fall back on. Those with sheltered work or a flexible contract see their jobs lost because of the crisis. The result: they lose their income, they unite and often have nothing left to do. Whereas structure and the feeling that you are contributing is so incredibly important." My appeal to the cabinet: give these people the right guidance." My appeal to the cabinet: give these people the right guidance. For example, a coach can provide support and also help in finding a suitable job. I'm going to ask the cabinet to come up with plans for such a life coach or other forms of support. I want us to help and help these people. Because we can only reach a fairer and more decent Netherlands if everyone can participate." I want us to help and help these people.
