How Does it Feel to Be Assessed?

The following research was carried out by Chris Ackers in March 2015 as a university student studying for a psychology degree with the Open University. The research explores how it feels for people with physical disabilities to be assessed for receipt of benefits. In particular the research asks how this process affects the sense of self of people with physical disabilities. The paper for the Centre for Welfare Reform includes data from semi-structured interviews with two women who have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Download Research

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
