Our story

The Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities and the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education worked on the ‘What about us?’ project together. The money for the project came from the Big Lottery Fund. Five secondary schools, two further education colleges, one independent work-based training organisation and one special school joined in with the project.

The ‘What about us?’ project lasted for two years. Groups of young people with learning difficulties did action research work for about a year in each of the schools and colleges involved with the project.
