People with learning difficulties and their families represent a diverse group and come from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. However, people with learning difficulties and families from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities often face major barriers in accessing services and support that meets their needs.

In partnership with The Action Group, The British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) and Glasgow Learning Disability Partnership, the Scottish Consortium for Learning Disability (SCLD)  felt there was a need to do some research into this.  These organisations make up the steering group for the project.  The steering group decided to call this work the 'What's Out There?' or 'WOT?' project.
