Channel 4’s Dispatches series is doing a documentary on preventable deaths among people with learning disabilities with the producers wanting to speak to those who have had a bad experience in hospital/a social care setting and families who have lost a loved one with a learning disability
The team creating the documentary are also keen to have people with learning disabilities involved in the filming and production of the programme in paid roles. So if you are interested in photography/filming, music or doing a voice over/presenting, or know someone who wants to take part, you should get in touch with Rachael Hall, the family engagement officer for campaigning organisation Learning Disability England. You can telephone her on 07490983412 or email her at rachael.hall@LDEngland.org.uk
Dispatches are hoping to start filming during April and are prepared to travel around the country to speak to participants.
