DCYPPP Talk Transition at QUB

September 2013

Barnardo’s Disabled Children and Young People’s Participation Project (DCYPPP) visited Queens University Belfast recently to celebrate the launch of a report on transition issues.

Young people from DCYPPP’s 6th Sense Advocacy Group acted as advisors to the “Don’t Box Me In: Disability, Identity and Transitions to Young Adult Life” research project undertaken by Dr Berni Kelly.

The research, which first started 10 years ago, has highlighted what life has been like for young people with Learning Disabilities as they have moved from childhood to adult life. 6th Sense compared the results of the research with their own experiences and agreed that most of the issues were the same for both groups.
