Regarding payment for contribution - some UK local authorities make a distinction between Consultancy and Consultation. 'Consultancy' is where disabled people would be asked to spend time reading and commenting on proposed policies and procedures from the perspective of disabled people (not the individual) - i.e. providing 'expert advice', and for this they would be paid. In terms of research, this may mean getting involved in the management of a research project. 'Consultation' is where disabled people would be asked for their personal opinions on a topic - e.g. whether they prefer one form of service over another, and for this they would receive expenses. In terms of research, this may mean being interviewed, or filling in questionnaires etc. Regards Alden > ---------- > From: Bob Williams-Findlay > Reply To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: Tuesday, April 8, 2003 12:13 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Payment For Contribution > > What's In It For Me? > > Well, I wonder how many people would be swanking around with the title of > "Doctor" if it wasn't for others sharing their knowledge and expertise with > them? > > This debate appears to focus solely on the "money" aspect of payment and > therefore ignores more fundamental issues in my opinion.
