Alan Sutherland has been our Poet in Residence over the past year, funded by the Leverhulme Trust to develop an innovative approach to gaining insight into the life stories of people with disabilities. He has just completed a series of transcription poems, drawing on interviews to create rich and moving insights for Disability Arts Online.
The findings of the report on Standards We Expect, a national research and development programme, led by service-users and supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, were published at a launch in Westminster on May 18th, with the book Supporting People. Towards a person-centred approach.
