ABSTRACT
'Self-advocacy and supported learning for mothers with learning
difficulties'

This article describes the work of the Supported Learning
Project (SLP). The SLP was a DfEE ACLF funded programme designed
to provide personal support and development in self-advocacy
to mothers with learning difficulties. The authors provide an
account of the project, an overview of the learning gains made
by the mothers and the obstacles to progress they encountered,
and an evaluation of the project's success in achieving its intended
aims. The article concludes with a discussion of the transferable
lessons that emerged from working with this hard-to-reach group
of excluded mothers.
