Involving young people with a learning disability in the arts

Mencap Arts has just published a report of its two year arts consultation with young people with a learning disability (aged 13-19).

Produced in partnership with Arts Council England, the consultation found that it is much harder for young people with a learning disability to access the arts than their peers and makes a number of recommendations for improvements.

As well as looking at young people's leisure aspirations and the barriers they face in fully participating in arts provision it contains information about arts activities available to young people with a learning disability.
