Have Your Say On What Disability Research Should Focus On!

Posted on November 20, 2015

DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) is a new five year funded research programme that will see disabled people working with academics and policy makers to develop research and pilot projects that will show how they, and people with long term health conditions, can be better supported to live independent lives.

The DRILL Programme is starting with a series of roadshows.   For more information on the DRILL Programme visit their website or download the DRILL Scotland Programme Information.

You are invited to join one of the roadshows to help take forward conversations about approaches that enable disabled people to live independently.  Discussions from the roadshows will be used to develop the research priorities for the programme.  Underlying DRILL will be partnership between disabled people’s organisations and researchers, with disabled people involved at every stage.

The Roadshows will be of particular interest to:

  • Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs)
  • User led /controlled groups, including those for specific health conditions or mental health
  • Academics and researchers
  • Practitioners from Disability Organisations
  • Policy makers
  • People with lived experiences of disabilities

The roadshows will:

  • Hear your ideas and insights into how to overcome current barriers to independent living
  • Pin down the current policy context in Scotland and look at opportunities that may be possible with further devolved powers
  • Explore ways in which organisations can work in partnership with researchers on solution-focussed research
  • Discuss new ideas that can be researched, piloted and used to change the policies and practices that affect you
  • Look at the themes for the research programme and take forward your priorities.  Based on the feedback on these themes, the first calls for proposals will go out around April 2016.
