White background with purple 'Digital Lifeline' logo in the top-middle. On the top right is a 'made with photosymbols' logo. In the centre is two pictures. On the left is a picture of a magnifying glass with a survey page in the middle. On the right is a picture of a woman in a wheelchair. She is wearing a red cardigan and looking at a tablet, smiling. Another smiling woman in an orange cardigan is crouching next to her to look at the tablet.
In our project, we work together to learn what kinds of support people with learning disabilities might need to use the internet, and devices like tablets or smartphones.

We're now at the exciting stage of piloting the #DigitalLifeline survey with help from a self-advocacy group in Greater Manchester. We had some great feedback and ideas to enhance the survey further before it goes live!
The image shows the purple Digital Lifeline project logo on a lilac background. In the middle are two Photosymbols: the first is a research survey in a black magnifying glass, and the second is a young woman with glasses in a wheelchair wearing a red cardigan and cream trousers, smiling at a tablet she is holding. An older woman with an orange cardigan and black trousers is kneeling down next to her, also looking at the tablet. At the bottom of the picture are the logos for the research team, Manchester Metropolitan University, the Association for Real Change, the Good Things Foundation, Learning Disability England, SeeAbility, and our funder, the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
