We are a group of disabled young people aged 17 – 25 from Coventry, UK. We have been trained by Anita Franklin (University of Portsmouth) and Geraldine Brady (Nottingham Trent University) to be researchers. We lead our project – research by young disabled people for disabled young people. We have a voice and we want to share the voices of other disabled young people. We want to use research evidence to improve the lives of disabled young people.
We wanted to research and define what “quality” should be in EHCPs and to see whether they respected the rights of disabled children and young people. We interviewed and facilitated discussion groups with disabled young people, parents/carers and multi-agency professionals. This report presents our findings on what people think EHCPs could and should be to support disabled children and young people to achieve the best possible life.
