Learning disability is when you don't understand things, but it doesn't make you stupid

Corrin McLelland

Our apprentice, Corrin McLelland, recently spent a day with Mencap’s Campaigns team to find out more about raising awareness about learning disability in society - and the employment chances for people who have the condition.

She has written an excellent blog about her own experience of learning disability and how she copes with stressful situations.

Corrin also talked about the research and policy work she does at Disability Rights UK and the video she has made as part of our I Can Make It! campaign, which aims to increase the employment chances of young people with disabilities aged 18-25.
