The University of Edinburgh, led by Professor Julie Taylor, with partners from Strathclyde and Coventry Universities are undertaking an NSPCC funded research study exploring the experiences and views of maltreated deaf and disabled children and young people about Child Protection Services.  This issue has not been explored from the perspective of deaf and disabled children and young people before in the UK, so it is hoped that the study will provide valuable lessons about how services can better protect and support them.

The research team is now recruiting deaf and disabled children and young people aged 11 – 26 years from across the UK for interviews, and would be very grateful if you would consider participating for the study, and/or passing on information to children and young people whom you think might be interested in taking part.

Interviews will be made accessible according to the young person’s individual needs.
