"Counting disabled children and their households"
SRA Evening Seminar
5:00pm, Wednesday 14th November 2007 (light refreshments from 4:30pm) The Nuffield Foundation
28 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3JS
On Wednesday 14th November, the SRA is delighted to announce that Clare Blackburn and Janet Read (Associate Professors, School of Health and Social Studies, University of Warwick) will be speaking about their ESRC funded research into "Can We Count Them? Disabled Children and their Households".
It is widely recognised that quantitative data on disabled children and their households in the UK has its limitations. This research set out to scope and evaluate existing data sources in order to inform the development of more robust data on this important population of children and their circumstances.
Clare and Janet's presentation will highlight some of the project's key findings (including those from secondary analysis work using FRS and FACS) and their policy implications.
This meeting takes place at the Nuffield Foundation and starts at 5pm (with light refreshments from 4.30). There is a small charge of £5 for SRA members and £10 for non-members to attend this event.
Directions to the Nuffield Foundation are available at:
http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/go/contactus/page_17.html).
The seminar will start promptly at 5:00pm, and will end at around 6.30pm.
Please email [log in to unmask] to register your attendance. You may also simply turn up on the evening, but priority is given to those who have pre-resgistered.
The Social Research Association looks forward to welcoming you.
