Outside the Box:
Our Vote, Our Voice

Outside the Box has been working with people who have learning difficulties. We have been making an information pack about elections. It is now available to download online HERE!

The pack has:

  • Information about making choices, finding out who is in charge, voting and
    keeping in touch with the people you elected

  • a list of useful contacts

  • ideas that other people and groups have tried

  • a glossary of difficult words


 

There are a set of posters.

There will also be a DVD about voting which will be available in January 2008.

You can help us by downloading HERE and using the resources, and by telling us what you think about them.

We also want to hear about how you have used the pack. There is a survey you can fill in.

In the New Year (January 2008) we will have printed copies of the pack and the DVD will be ready! You can put your name down for copies now! There will be no charge for the pack or the DVD.

  • You can ask us for a printed copy of the pack, which will include a DVD. (There will be limited numbers and priority will go to groups led by people with learning difficulties, smaller groups and groups which don’t have easy access to the internet and printers.) Order now! (mailto:peervote@otbds.org)

  • You can also order the DVD about voting. The DVD will have the pack on it as well, and there will be lots of copies. Order now! (mailto:peervote@otbds.org)

You can read more about the project and about what we did in our report (DOWNLOAD Report - 620 KB PDF >>)


 

The project was funded by a Partnership Grant from the Electoral Commission 2006-2007
