About the Citizens’ Grand Jury

The People First (Scotland) Citizens’ Grand Jury was held in Edinburgh City Chambers over two days on 26th and 27th January 2011. The event was entirely run by people with learning difficulties. The twelve people who made up the Jury itself were all members of People First (Scotland). During the two days, people with learning difficulties gave evidence about their own experiences and expert witnesses were asked questions about key issues in the lives of people with learning difficulties in Scotland today. The aims of the event were:

• To learn from the experience of people with learning difficulties.

• To ask searching and challenging questions of other witnesses.

The Jury met a number of times after the two-day event to discuss all of the evidence and write up their findings.

The attachment below is the full report of what they found and what they recommend to make things better.
