The young people did not have to join in with the ‘What about us?’ project – they could choose. The young people had support from project researchers.

Everyone involved in the project had support from an Advisory Committee of professionals and a Reference Group of young people with learning difficulties.

The young people who joined in with the ‘What about us?’ project did action research. This meant they worked together to:

  • find out what could be better
  • make plans for improvements
  • make new things happen
  • watch and listen for any changes
  • think about what happened and discuss what to do next
  • change their plans to make new things happen
  • tell people about their work.
