Great news from Mencap's latest campaign. It's a small change, but I think it sends an important message!

Hello @Alex I agree all the way with this one Alex it may be small change but now the message will be a important one. Thank you for bringing that to my attention as I know of children who have grown up have gone on to university so it proves there is the wrong attitude with this question but now shows there is positives' from this.
