The report on the survey that we completed in October 2022

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken part in our recent research. Here is the report that show what we have found.

You can also see the survey questions, an Easy Read version of the survey questions, and the charts and data from the survey.

Here is an Easy Read summary of the top 5 concerns that disabled people had in October 2022.

We have also made a research summary video

We will be using the information to develop our work at Inclusion Gloucestershire and influence other organisations who are in contact with disabled people.

If you have any questions please email Charlie Mitchell: charliem@inclusion-glos.org

Background: Inclusion Gloucestershire asked a lot of people to tell us their views in 2021.

 

We used the results to:

  • Write 8 reports, including a headline report that showed health was the most important area for people in 2021 (Please see reports below)
  • Write a new strategy (a big plan) that is guiding our work at Inclusion Gloucestershire over the next three years
  • Meet with commissioners from social care, health and housing to discuss our findings and what actions would be taken as a result
  • Let partner organisations know what was important to disabled people so they could help them more effectively

Thank you for all your support and warmest wishes to you!
