Hi (with apologies for cross-posting)
We are conducting a 'rapid evidence assessment' for the UK Government
Office for Disability Issues and would welcome your help to identify key
examples of research evidence to inform government policy and
Independent Living Strategy.
We are particularly interested in published evidence about (a)
'improving choice and control' and/or (b) 'access to goods and
services'.
We are interested in examples of published research evidence that can
inform policy makers about the views of disabled people, the barriers to
full participation, and the most effective solutions. We welcome
suggestions from researchers, disabled people, policy makers, providers,
and other stakeholders.
Which examples of research evidence do you think provide the most
important evidence for shaping national policy and future research in
the UK?
If you would like to contribute then you can do this using our web-based
questionnaire.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=SgcNvzRQC7mRZm6R0Y0Q6w_3d_3d
The questionnaire asks you for information about one example of
published research evidence, but you can return to the questionnaire at
any time to submit more examples.
This rapid evidence assessment is one of a series of reviews that form
part of the ODI commitment to build an evidence base to inform future
policy development and assess improvements in life chances for disabled
people towards equality by 2025. The intention is to disseminate this
evidence base through the ODI's online knowledge hub.
Thank you for your help. If you have any questions about the research,
or would like help to submit evidence (e.g. in alternative formats),
please contact the project team:
