Hi,
We have just started a BIG Lottery funded research project on disabled children and young people's participation in  decision-making concerning services. This is a collaborative project  between NCB Research Centre, ALLFIE, Council for Disabled Children and The Children’s Society’s Research Unit. 

We are currently undertaking a full academic literature search and have recently put out a call for evidence of grey literature. I have attached the call for evidence; this also gives further details on the research. I wondered whether I could call upon your support to circulate this to any relevant people you might know.

We would also welcome your support in identifying any current, ongoing research in this area, and also highlight any research you may have undertaken whereby participation was not  the central theme but it was a sub theme.

The project team are grateful for any support you can give. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further clarification. Further information about the research is available on the project website  http://www.ncb.org.uk/cdc/other_work/participation_research.aspx  

Sorry for any cross-posting.
With thanks
Anita
