It's Our Scotland Too: Bullying and Learning Disabilities
CK Respect is a project run by Common Knowledge aimed at young people with learning difficulties (16-25years).  In this workshop the young people with showcase the work they've done over the past two years.  The workshop aims to highlight the common experience of bullying for the majority of the population of people with learning difficulties, which starts at schools and, for many, continues on well into adulthood.

The young people examine different types of bullying, where it happens, how it makes them feel, the impact upon their lives and vitally the way forward out of bullying situations. They will use a recent poll of bullying towards people with learning difficulties and compare the figures with those of the workshop participants.
