Making the transition: Addressing barriers in services for disabled people
Research Report No. 204
By Ini Grewal, Sally McManus, Sue Arthur with Lorna Reith
This qualitative research study was commissioned in response to the Disability Rights Task Force's recommendations regarding the need to tackle barriers to joint working in the provision of services and support to disabled people. Based on in-depth interviews and focus groups with service users, local service providers and central government policy officials, the research explored how and why disabled people can experience discontinuity in the provision of equipment and services at points of transition in their lives. It also explored how barriers to making a smooth transition might be addressed. The project was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research, with Disability Alliance.
