Survey: Participants Wanted!

Participants Wanted!

  • Are you a carer for a person with a learning disability?

  • Are you a member of staff that supports people with learning disabilities?

  • Are you a professional that has worked to support a person with a learning disability?

  • Are you based in England, Wales or Scotland?

We want to hear the views of all professionals, staff carers and/or family carers of people with learning disabilities.

What is the study about?

Many adults with learning disabilities are the victim of serious and violent crimes. They often do not get justice either via the court system or through compensation. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) is open to all, yet little or nothing is known about the knowledge professionals, staff and family carers have of the scheme, nor about how responsive it is to them or those they support.

We would like to invite you to take part in research that aims to explore the knowledge and experiences of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) of staff/family carers of people with learning disabilities. You don’t have to have any particular knowledge or previous experience to complete the survey. We are interested in everyone’s views.

What would you have to do?

Complete a survey for professionals, staff/family carers of people with learning disabilities about crime and compensation.

If you would like to take part or find out more, you can read the information sheet and enter the survey here Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
