Join the twitter chat exploring the recommendations of the Citizen’s Jury for people with intellectual disabilities and need for inclusive research practices   In 2018 the Scottish Learning Disabilities Observatory and Talking Mats were funded by the Wellcome Trust to set up a Citizens\u2019 Jury for people with learning\/intellectual disabilities. We wanted to develop and test an adapted method of deliberative democracy, and hopefully to demonstrate that people with learning\/intellectual disabilities can consider complex questions relating to health research. We also wanted to show that with resources, planning and good quality facilitation this could lead to valuable insights into inclusive research.<\/p>\n

After a period of knowledge and skills development with our citizens\u2019 jury members we held the jury over 5 days at the end of 2019. In early 2020 the Jury published their consensus report<\/a> containing 10 recommendations for health research. You can watch a video  the jury members made to communicate the recommendations here:  Research Voices Citizens\u2019 Jury: Our recommendations Involving People with Learning Disabilities – YouTube<\/a> We believe that this report provides crucial insights into how people with learning\/intellectual disabilities want to have their voices heard when it comes to health research. The next stage for us and the jury members is to secure further funding to build on this work and take forward the jury\u2019s recommendations.<\/p>\n

Through the Research Voices project we wanted to share our learning and develop resources that could be shared with the research community. Our evaluation report<\/a> provides a detailed review of the Research Voices project with comprehensive information about the jury process and outcomes. There is an easy read version available.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday the 8th<\/sup> of June we will host a twitter chat about inclusive health research from 7pm \u2013 8p.m . We hope to welcome researchers, self-advocates, third sector organisations, carers and others to contribute to this discussion.  If you have never joined a twitter chat before this is your opportunity. Here is how:<\/p>\n
