Picture yourself in a café; you find a worm in your burger. Would you complain? Of course you would! Picture yourself in your own home; your support worker is not listening to you or your needs. Would you complain? Everyone has the right to complain, but it’s not always easy and few people with learning disabilities do. Many people do not know that complaining can have a positive outcome. This is what a group of people with learning difficulties from Tower Hamlets set out to show in their new video complaints pack. This pack includes a DVD and supporters notes which is designed for groups and it helps people, over several sessions, learn about complaints and explore what they feel about making them. The group launched the DVD at Learning Disability Today on 31st October 2007. The group is going to use the proceeds from sales to carry on their work and make sure that more people know about.

In this video we meet Richard who was diagnosed with a learning disability at an early age. Richard explains his confusion around his sexuality and how he was not provided with adequate sex education. It explores his experiences of social care in relation to person-centred reviews and independent living. Richard discusses how he wanted to find a relationship and the subsequent isolation he felt when his request for support to go out and meet people was dismissed. Richard placed a formal complaint about the lack of support he was given. The video highlights the need for trained workers in sexuality and learning disabilities along with the need to adequately balance risk and responsibility toward the individual concerned so that they can live an inclusive and empowered life.
