IT’S WORKING IN DUDLEY
Featuring people with learning disabilities who are making a real success of paid work in a wide range of workplaces.
Really enjoyed the different stories and hearing about people’s experiences. It was interesting and encouraging to hear and see that there are organisation’s supporting people to work in a way that meets there needs. It came over in a very positive manner and that it is acheivable for people with mental health difficulties to work as self-employed. Highly recommended.
LMB March 2013
Really impressed with the content, delivery and approach of these short films and in particular this one on self-employment for people with mental health problems. The ‘stories’ are inspiring and sensitively delivered. There is a really good range of examples given too. The film itself is well researched and there is good background information on how people are supported, what the benefits are of working in this way but also some of the challenges and difficulties. A really accessible and positve view on self employment in this context. Highly recommended.
