The views of people from East Leeds with physical disabilities and who have received care from a UK crisis, or inpatient mental health service, are being sought for a study.

From the limited research currently available, project lead, Jamie Melvin-Freed, has identified concerns around accessibility of services and continuity of care for service users, with some saying they feel their human rights are not being upheld, that they are not believed, or that they are not taken seriously, among other things.

As well as helping to inform future services and policies, this study also aims to shine a light on the voices of disabled people, which experts say, have so far remained absent from research literature. Participants meeting the entry criteria will each receive a £15 Amazon voucher for their time. To take part or for further information please email: jm22257@essex.ac.uk
