A major 3 year Economic and Social Research Council Research Project involving researchers at Glasgow, Newcastle and York University have examined inequalities and diversities in the varied transitions disabled young people make as the grow up.
Disabled young people experience lots of things as they move towards adulthood. Changes can be in areas such as education, employment, housing, leisure, relationships and family, as well as service changes from health and social care. The types of issues disabled young people experience will not be the same - they will be different for all kinds of reasons. The types of adulthood that disabled young people want will also vary.
By working with a group of disabled young people in both Central Scotland and North East England for a period of up to 2 years, as well as working with family members and policy and practice stakeholders, the project has been able to take a holistic view of transition dynamics and what it means to grow up as a disabled young person in Scotland.
The findings have been shared with a range of stakeholders via Policy Briefings and Key Findings Documents (all also available in Easy Read Format). Academic outputs are also available and you can find them here: Disability and Youth Transitions.
The Scottish PI (Charlotte Pearson) can be contacted about sharing research findings with any groups who are interested in knowing more.
