Talking about child protection – interviewing deaf and disabled children and young people aged 11 to­ 26 years. Can you help?

UK research study exploring the experiences and views of maltreated deaf and disabled young people about child protection services. By the University of Edinburgh, led by Professor Julie Taylor with partners from Strathclyde and Coventry Universities and NSPCC funded. 

This issue has not been explored from the perspective of deaf and disabled young people before in the UK, so it is hoped that the study will provide valuable lessons about how services can better protect and support them. 

  • We are interviewing deaf and disabled children and young people aged 11 to­ 26 years from across the UK who have either experienced the child protection system, or who may have been abused but did not access services. 
  • Interviews will be made accessible according to the young person¹s individual needs.
  • Please help us get this information to children and young people who might want to be interviewed.
