Chattervine

This is a blog for people with learning disabilities to talk about their lives. You can talk about jobs, things that interest or make you cross. We want to hear if you think other people treat you with respect and what your life is really like.
If you want to have a rant about anything, that is OK. Please keep it polite and don't get personal about anyone. We want this blog to be somewhere that people can talk to each other respectfully. Sometimes people will have different ideas to you, that doesn't mean that they are wrong and you right. It just means we think about things in different ways, we think that is good.
We think it is OK to get someone to help you send us messages, and it doesn't matter if you only send a short message. We just want to hear from you.
This blog is run by 6 members of the Uncover Media Team. We are based at Grapevine, in Coventry. The project gets money from The Big Lottery Fund. We are trying to change the way the media- TV, radio, newspapers and the Internet shows people with learning disabilities. We want to get people to treat us with more respect.
Over the next few weeks we will tell you a bit about ourselves and what the project does. We don't see each other everyday so it might take a few days to get back to you. Please don't let that put you off.
