Meet our partners and judges

Judges for the Learning Disability and Autism Leaders’ List Awards will be announced soon!

Every year, our Leaders’ List honours the remarkable accomplishments of people with learning disabilities and autism. Categories range across arts, sports, entertainment, work and advocacy.

We recognise that everyone has a unique story to tell and everyone deserves to be acknowledged. This is why all entrants received a certificate and the winners will have their stories shared across the nation!

Winners are chosen by a panel of expert judges, all of whom have a learning disability and/or autism themselves. All our judges are previous Leaders and they’re very excited to read the Finalists’ stories.

Our 2023/2023 Leaders’ List Award judges will be announced soon

All of our judges are Learning Disability and Autism Leaders’ themselves! This means they all have a learning disability and/or are autistic, and understand that everybody’s achievements are unique and mean something special to each entrant.

There are 2 judges per category, and their scores will be added together to choose our final 2023/2024 Leaders.
