Following Patient 36 Resources

On this Resource page DIY has brought together our Following Patient 36 Digital Story and supporting Resource Pack (all FREE).
We are hoping that schools, colleges and other organisations will use them to explore issues relating to UK Disability History Month (18th November – 18th December) and the International Day of People with Disabilities (3rd December 2020).

What people say about the Following Patient 36 Resources:

the focus of the performance, a history of the marginalisation of people with learning disabilities, can be very easily, and in fact seamlessly, linked to the study of the concepts of labelling, prejudice and discrimination. There are also several points in the performance that relate to the law, and to how the law has changed – a possibility to consider and compare The Mental Deficiency Act (1913) and The Equality Act (2010)”

The visuals and audio were really engaging for the pupils. They particularly liked the creative activities. The reflective questions eg how did the film make you feel etc. were really thought provoking for pupils. Asked two weeks later about the lesson and pupils could easily recall information from it’
