'I used to have a learning disability but I don't have one any more'

Welcome to the world of Neil Baldwin, who doesn't recognise the labels that other people put on him. Neils autobiography, 'Marvellous' was made into a film starring Toby Jones. (Scroll down to join our Watch Party on 20 October!)

Neil has been a clown, a kit man for Stoke City FC, freeman of the city of Stoke-on-Trent and, due to his voluntary work at Keele University, has an honorary degree.

We shall be chatting with Neil and his friend Malcolm Clarke about his life and what he can teach us - as an academic network - about how to educate students about enabling people to live life to the full; helping them to defy the expectations placed upon them by others. How can we focus on and promote abilities, skills and strengths?

What will happen? What will he say? It's likely to be unpredictable and challenging!

To join our Watch Party and chat with us about this film live, 8pm 20th October

I shall send you a link at 7.45pm on 20th October

Kindest
