| Annotation | This large-scale qualitative study aims to provide a greater understanding of the life experiences of disabled people in Britain. The research explores the complex conceptual and personal issues surrounding the lives of this diverse population, in particular the nature of personal identity and the roles that disability, age, gender, ethnicity and sexuality play in shaping disabled people's self-identity. The report considers three key areas where "compounded" or "multiple" disadvantage might occur: experiences of education and training; the world of work and transitions to retirement; and access to goods and services. Other research objectives were to explore disabled people's perceptions of social exclusion and their experiences of discrimination and prejudice. Respondents were either people who had participated in previous studies, or who had been contacted through local voluntary organisations for disabled people. The research was designed to include a combination of one-to-one interviews and group discussions. (RH). |
