ARU Final Report

Full Report – May 2021 5 Acknowledgements Firstly, we would like to thank the young people with disabilities across the six local authorities – Cornwall, Essex, Hertfordshire, Medway, South Tyneside, and Stockport – who participated in this research. You contributed your time and shared your experiences which will help to inform how to better support young people with disabilities during the pandemic and beyond. We would also like to thank the professionals from each local authority who supported the research by conducting the guided conversations. Without you, this research could not have happened. Finally, we would like to thank Essex County Council for their additional support and guidance that has driven the research forwards.
