Supporting Sexualities or Genders Project

Supporting Sexualities or Genders Project

A new study on personal support, gender and sexuality is looking for participants. If you’d like to take part you must be aged between 18 and 30, live in England, and have over 6 months experience of managing your support arrangements. You do not have to have a PA right now. It doesn’t matter what your gender or sexuality is.

The study asks how young disabled adults make decisions about hiring personal assistants, and whether gender or sexuality (of a PA or individual employer) shape those decisions.

Find out more in this recruitment video for the study produced by Beacon Films, an organisation that works with disabled creatives and film makers.

The study, funded by the National Institute for Health Research School for Social Care, is a collaboration between Northumbria University, Disability North, Nottingham Trent University, Bristol University and the University of York

Findings will be used to develop resources for use by PAs, young disabled adults, and social care organisations.

All participants will receive a £20 gift voucher for taking part.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
