Our website is live, and so is our Twitter! This is a very exciting day. The team has been meeting regularly to talk about the project and create resources for it, including interview questions, recruitment resources, easy-read documents, and more. It's been a pleasure getting to know everyone and to see the passion everyone has. It's a wonderful group of people to work with, everyone bringing different skills and experiences with them.
Right now, we are doing a rapid literature review. This helps us see what is involved in past research and look at the collection of knowledge as it is. It also helps see us where there are gaps, or things that are missing, so we can include it in our research. So far, the literature has been very interesting, and there have been some amazing research projects in the past, but there isn't enough looking at the experiences of those with learning disabilities or family carers.
Soon, we will be moving onto interviews! More on this to come...
