Dear All
I have a postgrad student who is looking at DOLS for people with LD as her dissertation - the aim is to interview care managers and home managers for cases where DOLS has been applied for. We are through all the ethics procedures (SCREC) and have a whole bunch of consent forms and info sheets (for the care managers/ house managers and also for the person with LD, though usually the person with LD is not able to consent to the research, so we have to have a research consultee).
We are having immense difficulty tracking down any DOLS cases for LD. Could anyone help? Has anyone got cooperative Social Services Care Managers who would agree? And cooperative residential services who would agree?
We've only got 2 or 3 cases so far, through about 4 London boroughs & Kent - partly because though helpful DOLS leads in SS depts. are sending out info sheets and consent forms, of course we cant know confidential details until consent has been sorted - and we cant chase the consents because we cant know the addresses/phone numbers.
Be grateful for any help!
