People with a #LearningDisability are being shut out of work. It limits independence, knocks self-esteem and makes them feel excluded from society.
Tim and Joe from @Clipper_UK talk about how their job has transformed their life.

"The R-Word it's like emotional bullets (...).
Just stop using it full stop."
Richard is right. The R-Word is never acceptable.
It hurts. It is discriminatory. It is plain wrong!
This #AntiBullyingWeek, #TheChangeStartsWithUs.
Let's stop the use of the R-Word, once and for all!
