Your News

People with learning disabilities and difficulties have long been calling for a specialist news programme which they can understand. 

Your News is a unique programme that fulfils this need. 

It is a mix of recent national and international news stories as well as short films about learning disability issues.

It uses less jargon and is made by people with learning difficulties.

The 20-minute programme is presented by ITN's Olivia Hill and Andrew Lee, Director of People First.  Reporters include Ciara Evans and Lloyd Brown.

This edition contains stories on the U.S. presidential elections, hate crime against people with a learning disability or difficulty and a report on Arsenal football club's community initiatives.

There are 1.5 million people in Britain with a learning disability or difficulty and research published in 2005 showed that mainstream news is inaccessible to them.  It has too much jargon, 'jumps around' too much and lacks context and is not always relevant to their lives.
