Description
The Cabinet Office's Disability Unit would like to procure a systematic review of the evidence based on the lived experience of disabled people in the UK. This systematic review will synthesise the full breadth of research in this area, as well as developing criteria to test its robustness and identify gaps. The final output of the review will be a unique resource, which will support the National Strategy for Disabled People, and effective policy making for disabled people cross-government. This resource will be publicly available and easily accessible by stakeholders.
