Plain English summary Since the 1970’s, there has been a shift from research on disabled people to research with disabled people. This is often referred to as co-produced research. Co-production has a wide definition but includes disabled people working with academics to produce research and outcomes which neither group could achieve by working in isolation. This paper presents the co-production methodology used to conduct a research project called ‘Getting our Voices Heard’. This project, sought to find the best way to get the voices of people with a learning disability heard inpolicy development in the UK. We explain how this research was carried out, using a co-produced participatory design. We established a research team with professional researchers from a university, who worked with peer researchers. Peer researchers are people who have lived experience of the issue being studied. In this project, we worked with six peer researchers who all had a learning disability. The experiences of the peer researchers, and ways in which the peer researchers were involved at each stage of the project are discussed. The peer researchers described feeling positive about their role and felt involved. We show that working together is important and recommend that additional time and resources are essential for this joint working. |
