The VIPER project: what we found
This three-year project, which started in summer 2010, set out to explore the participation of disabled children and young people in decision-making about services. The overall aim of the project is to improve services used by disabled young people in England. Within its three year lifespan the project set out to:
- Investigate how services involve disabled young people in different types of decisions – decisions about long-term planning (‘strategic’ decisions) as well as decisions about the way things happen from day to day (‘operational’ decisions).
- Explore the impacts and benefits of disabled young people’s participation.
- Understand the barriers to effectively involving disabled young people in decision-making.
- Seek out good practice and understand, from the viewpoints of services and disabled young people, what seems to work in supporting participation.
- Develop materials and resources with disabled young people to support their participation in decision-making.
