Who are BATIAS?
BATIAS is a voluntary

people living in Basildon and Thurrock. Since then, our service has
expanded, to support people who live in Brentwood, Southend, Castle
Point and Rochford. What
is a learning disability? A
learning disability means that the person's capacity to learn is
affected. This may sometimes be accompanied by other physical,
sensory or behavioural disabilities. Some people are able to live
quite independent lives, while others may require a great deal of
support, up to 24 hours per day. BATIAS
